Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

- 8 slices of sliced bread (preferably square)
- 250 ml of milk
- 50 g of butter (for greasing the pan)
- 200 g of tomato paste (or puree)
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 6 very thin slices of ham (cut into triangles)
- 50 g of grated cheese
- 100 g of dried salami (cut into cubes)
- 2 eggs
- Olive oil (for frying the onion and salami)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the pan: Start by choosing a suitable pan (preferably medium-sized). Cover the bottom with aluminum foil, ensuring it is well stretched. Then, grease the foil with butter to prevent sticking.

2. Moistening the bread: In a bowl, pour the 250 ml of milk. Take each slice of bread and soak it well in the milk, ensuring it is completely absorbed. Arrange the slices in the pan, making sure there are no gaps. This step will provide a soft and tasty pizza base.

3. Preparing the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with the basil and oregano. This mixture will add an intense pizza flavor. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce over the layer of bread in the pan.

4. Cooking the ingredients: In a frying pan, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until golden. Then, add the salami cubes and fry them together with the onion until they become slightly crispy and release their aroma.

5. Adding the ingredients: Once the onion and salami are ready, add them on top of the tomato sauce. Continue by adding the triangular slices of ham, the bell pepper rings, and the sliced olives (make sure they are pitted). Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese for a delicious cheese layer.

6. Finalizing the dish: Beat the two eggs and pour them evenly over the ingredients. This will bind all the elements and create a golden and appetizing crust.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are well set and the cheese has melted nicely.

8. Cooling: When the pizza is ready, remove the pan from the oven, but do not immediately remove the aluminum foil. Wait a few minutes to allow the dish to stabilize. This step is essential to avoid breaking the crust.

9. Serving: Once it has cooled slightly, cut the pizza into portions and serve it warm. You can add a few fresh basil or oregano leaves for a more attractive appearance.

Serving suggestions: This pizza on bread pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a side of pickles. Additionally, a bottle of white wine or a refreshing lemonade will complete the meal perfectly.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different ingredients. Replace the ham with cooked chicken or add vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. You can also use your favorite cheese or even feta cheese for a unique taste.

Nutritional benefits: This recipe is a good source of protein due to the eggs and meat, while the bread provides the necessary carbohydrates for energy. The tomatoes in the sauce are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, and the vegetables add essential fiber and vitamins.
