My absolute favorite thing on a groggy Saturday is throwing a fried egg on top of leftovers. Well, we didn't have any leftovers. The good news is this is the best breakfast ever. The bad news is your day can get nothing but worse from here.
Breakfast Pizza
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
- one pizza dough thawed since last night
- 6 strips bacon
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 cups grated mozzarella
- 6 large eggs
- pepper, freshly ground obvi
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives, thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- cornstarch
The night before thaw your pizza dough or make a pizza dough. As soon as you wake up the only goal is to bring that dough to room temperature. That means dough out of the fridge before you put your contacts in or before you get the crying baby. Priorities.
30 minutes before you want to bake- put a pizza stone or a baking pan in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. If you aren't worried the smoke detector will go off its because your oven isn't hot enough or you have disabled that thing years ago.
Meanwhile: prepare everything else. Roll out the dough on a floured countertop, fry the bacon and chop it up, grate the cheeses, and chop the herbs.
When everything is ready pull out the pizza stone and place on the countertop (probably on pot holders). Sprinkle cornstarch on the stone or pan and then the place the rolled out dough on top. Top the dough with the Parm, Mozzarella, and bacon. Crack the eggs over the cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes rotating the pizza halfway through. Before removing make sure the egg whites are set, and crust is golden. Scoot it off the stone to a cutting board. Sprinkle all of the onions and herbs on top. Cool until the cheese is set (like 2 minutes) and serve asap.
