BACON AND ONION PIZZA WITH MAGIC EGGS

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 strips bacon, cut into thin lardons
1 Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
5 pieces store-bought naan or pita bread
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup shredded Gruyere
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups baby arugula
Flakey sea salt
1/2 small head red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
5 large eggs, whites and yolks separated

Steps:

  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon fat has rendered and the onions soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crispy and the onions take on some color, about 6 minutes more. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • To assemble the pizzas, lay the bread rounds on the prepared baking sheets. Divide the sour cream over each piece of bread, leaving a small rim exposed to serve as a crust. Divide the cheese and the bacon mixture over each piece. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until crispy around the edges and the cheese melts, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the magic eggs: Place the shredded cabbage in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1 1/2 cups water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes so the cabbage steams and releases its juice into the water, turning it purple.
  • Place 4 egg whites into 4 small bowls. Pour 1 tablespoon colored water into each egg white. Whisk vigorously (using a whisk, not a fork) to fully incorporate the water into the egg white. Watch the color change before your eyes! Place the saute pan used to cook the bacon over medium heat. Add the egg whites, keeping them separate, and cook until almost firm, about 2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to release the sides of the egg whites from the pan. Place 1 egg yolk in the center of each egg white. Cook to desired doneness, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining egg.
  • Place 1 egg on top of each pizza. Sprinkle with the arugula and flakey sea salt. Slice into quarters and serve immediately.

PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, FIGS, BACON AND BLUE CHEESE



Pizza With Caramelized Onions, Figs, Bacon and Blue Cheese image

Here is a recipe for pizza that calls to mind - at least this mind - the joys of car travel through southeastern France, where pizzas such as this are available at all the imaginary cafes in small towns near the Italian border. It certainly tastes as if it comes from that region and, if you close your eyes as you eat it, you can almost imagine yourself halfway through a drive from Aix to Turin. The time spent caramelizing the onions is more than worth it, so do it the day before you intend to make the pie. Which is when, as it happens, you should make the dough as well. And we have a recipe for that as well - a version adapted from the team behind the magical Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn.

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 large Spanish onion
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
4 thick slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch thick batons
1 ball pizza dough
Flour, for dusting surface
12 dried mission figs, stems trimmed, cut into quarters or small pieces
3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • At least 45 minutes before cooking, preheat the oven and pizza stone to 550 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the onions, thyme and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions begin to wilt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and turn a deep, golden brown, about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves and transfer the onions to a small bowl.
  • Place the bacon in the pan and set over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a small bowl.
  • Place the pizza dough on a heavily floured surface and stretch and pull, using your hands or a rolling pin, into about a 14-inch round. Place on a lightly floured pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Cover with the toppings, careful not to press on the dough and weigh it down: the caramelized onions first, then the figs and bacon, and finally the Gorgonzola, leaving roughly a 1/2 inch border. Shake the pizza peel slightly to make sure the dough is not sticking. Carefully slide the pizza directly onto the baking stone in one quick, forward-and-back motion. Cook until the crust has browned on the bottom and the top is bubbling and browning in spots, about 7 minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and some cracked black pepper. Serve hot. Makes 1 pizza.
