Pizza Portuguesa offers a savory and slightly tangy flavor profile with a combination of salty ham, creamy mozzarella, rich eggs, pungent onions, and briny olives.
The mozzarella provides a mild, milky base, while the ham adds a salty and smoky cured meat flavor. Hard-boiled eggs introduce a creamy richness. The onions contribute a sharp, pungent bite that mellows as it cooks. Olives deliver a briny, slightly bitter flavor that complements the other ingredients.

Ingredient Quality
Use good quality ham and mozzarella for the best flavor. Fresh mozzarella is preferred, but low-moisture mozzarella works well too.
Egg Preparation
Hard-boil the eggs to the desired firmness and slice or quarter them for even distribution on the pizza.
Onion Preparation
Thinly slice the onions to ensure they cook through evenly and don't overpower the other flavors. Soaking them in water for a few minutes can mellow their sharpness.
Olive Selection
Choose your favorite type of olives. Black olives are commonly used, but green olives can also be used. Pitted olives are easier to work with.
Baking Temperature
Bake at a high temperature to ensure a crispy crust and melted cheese. Monitor the pizza closely to prevent burning.
