Secret to pizza sauceCarmelization of the veggie ingredients prior to adding the tomatoes... I'd start with finely chopped onion, grated or pressed garlic, fresh basil, fresh orgegano, fresh thyme...
"egg cheese" ball. I first posted about it maybe 7-9 years ago.
Think cold compressed scrambled eggs -- or maybe overcooked custard, because that's what it is -- nothing more than eggs and milk, with a bit of salt included. The egg and milk mixture is cooked to a fare-thee-well in a saucepot, until there's a drastic separation of the cooked egg "curds" and whey.
The mixture is poured into a cheesecloth and rounded into a ball, then hung to drain. When cold, it's sliced for serving and is an extremely fine addition to an Easter ham sandwich between slices of paska - the rich Easter bread of my heritage. It's probably an acquired taste, and it's rather bland, and certainly eggy tasting. And delicious. It's easy to make a small one by halving, thirding, or quartering the recipe. One-third would make a rather smallish one; one fourth might be pushing it.

Beat eggs and milk thoroughly and cook over medium heat until eggs coagulate and separate from the liquid -- the liquid will be almost clear. Takes maybe 20 minutes or so to cook. Pour through three or four layers of cheesecloth, round into a ball with the cloth, tie tight and hang to drain.
