Bacon and Egg Pizza image

If you've ever had a hankering for pizza for breakfast, this recipe is exactly what you need. With a topping of creamy ricotta, runny eggs and plenty of crisp bacon, this white pizza doesn't need tomato sauce to give it pizazz. The flavors are a little like a carbonara, with the mozzarella and ricotta making it extra creamy.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces thick-cut bacon (4 to 6 slices)
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1 clove garlic, finely grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 (9- to 10-ounce) ball of regular or whole-wheat pizza dough, room temperature (see recipe)
1 1/2 cups shredded fresh mozzarella
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
8 basil leaves, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons grated pecorino Romano
2 large eggs, cold
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees, and arrange racks in top and bottom thirds. Place a pizza stone on the top rack.
  • Arrange bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake on bottom rack until browned and crisp, 7 to 11 minutes. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper-towel-lined plate to cool, then slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Raise oven temperature to 500 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, garlic and salt.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, stretch dough into an 11-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with mozzarella, leaving a slim border around edges. Scatter bacon on top, add red pepper flakes, then dollop tablespoons of ricotta mixture all over pie. Arrange basil leaves on top, then sprinkle with pecorino.
  • Place baking sheet on top of pizza stone, and bake for 4 minutes. (Edges of dough should be cooked but not browned.) Remove from oven; use the back of a large spoon to make 2 divots on either side of pizza, and crack eggs into the divots. Return to oven and bake until egg whites are almost but not quite set, about 4 minutes. Set oven to broil, and broil until crust is charred and eggs are cooked but yolks are runny, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If your broiler is in a separate drawer, transfer baking sheet to your broiler drawer and broil to finish cooking the eggs and brown the crust.)
  • Slide pizza onto a cutting board. Top with more basil, flaky sea salt and more red pepper flakes. Drizzle with oil and serve immediately.

This pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste. The bacon was crispy, but the egg yolk was a bit overcooked. The crust was also a bit too thick.

The pizza was good, but not great. The crust was a bit dry and the bacon was a bit too salty. The egg was cooked perfectly, though.
