BREAKFAST PIZZA WITH BASIL PESTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• MUSHROOMS: heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauce for 3-4 minutes or until they brown just barely. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• PIZZA: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475ºF. Flatten the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Create a lip or rim by thickening the dough around the crust portion. This keeps everything in. Transfer dough carefully to a parchment lined baking sheet. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, crack the eggs in 4 separated bowls of ramekins. Combine the red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
• Spread the pesto in a thin layer on each pizza. Arrange the sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms on top and sprinkle with the prepared seasonings. Top with the mozzarella cheese slices, leaving four wells where you'll place the eggs later.
• Bake the pizza on the highest rack for 5 minutes. Remove the pizza. Press the wells with a large spoon if the dough is puffing up. Place each egg in a separate well and place the pizza back in the oven for 5-6 minutes if you want a runny yolk and 7-9 minutes for a more firm yolk. Remove from oven, let stand 1-2 minutes before grating fresh parmesan cheese on top and topping with arugula. Cut into slices and serve immediately!

BREAKFAST PIZZA WITH ZUCCHINI PESTO, PROVOLONE, SMOKED RICOTTA AND OLIVE OIL FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Put a pizza stone on or near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza peel.
• Dust your work surface with a little bit of flour. Working with 2 balls of dough at a time (whatever will fit on your pizza stone), roll out each ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and transfer to the peel. Drizzle the top with a few teaspoons olive oil, scatter some of the provolone evenly over the top and season with some salt, pepper and chile flakes. Using the peel, transfer the pizzas to the stone and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• While the pizzas cook, fry the eggs: Heat about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Slip in 2 of the eggs and fry until the edges are brown and crisp, the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the pizzas from the oven and spread an even layer of Zucchini Pesto on top, dollop with some ricotta, top with an egg and garnish with some parsley leaves. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Cook the remaining eggs, adding an additional tablespoon of oil to the skillet if needed. Serve hot.
• Combine the zucchini, basil, Parmesan, almonds, garlic and onion in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and process until emulsified. Season with the lemon zest and some salt and pepper and pulse a few times.
