In our collective minds, pepperoni has only ever been a pizza topping.

Fresh eggs: You'll use two large eggs per ramekin. Butter or oil: This creates a rich base that prevents sticking. For a dairy-free version, substitute with olive oil. Optional toppings: I like adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to each dish for best flavor. Baking dishes: Small ramekins or ceramic dishes work best. I use 5-inch ramekins that are just the right size for two eggs.
