Pizza Portuguesa, while inspired by global pizza traditions, is a uniquely Brazilian creation. Its development reflects Brazil's culinary creativity and its adaptation of foreign influences to local tastes. It doesn't have a long documented history like Neapolitan pizza, but rather evolved organically within Brazilian pizzerias.

Pizza Portuguesa is a popular choice in Brazil, found in almost every pizzeria. It's often seen as a more 'complete' and substantial pizza due to the added eggs and ham, making it a hearty meal.
Brazilian Pizzeria Culture
Pizza is extremely popular in Brazil, with many cities boasting a vibrant pizzeria scene. Brazilians have embraced pizza and added their own unique twists, like Pizza Portuguesa, to classic recipes.
Family Meal

Variety and Customization
Brazilian pizzerias are known for their extensive menus and willingness to customize pizzas. Pizza Portuguesa is just one example of the diverse and creative toppings available.

Pizza Portuguesa offers a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile, combining salty ham, tangy onions, briny olives, and rich egg yolks on a typically tomato-based sauce.
The flavor profile is characterized by the saltiness of the ham, which is often a leaner, more delicate variety than some European hams. The onions contribute a pungent sweetness that caramelizes during baking. Olives provide a briny, slightly bitter counterpoint. The eggs, either sliced hard-boiled or cracked raw onto the pizza before baking, add a creamy richness and umami depth. The base tomato sauce provides a familiar acidic foundation. The cheese, typically mozzarella, offers a mild, milky backdrop that binds the ingredients together.

Egg Preparation
If using sliced hard-boiled eggs, add them towards the end of the baking time to prevent them from drying out. If adding raw eggs, crack them carefully onto the pizza after the cheese has melted slightly and bake until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
Ham Selection
Choose a good quality ham that isn't overly salty. Leaner ham varieties work well, as they don't release too much fat during baking.
Onion Caramelization
Sautéing the onions slightly before adding them to the pizza can enhance their sweetness and prevent them from being too harsh in flavor.
Olive Variety
Green olives are most commonly used, but black olives can also be incorporated for a different flavor dimension. Choose pitted olives for convenience.
