Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4
-
1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1/2 cup tomato sauce
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
4 sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
4 large eggs
-
1/4 cup cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
-
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven and preheat for 30 minutes.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round. If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer onto the stone.
-
Brush the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) border around the edges. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
Distribute the cooked and crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese.
-
Gently crack each egg, one at a time, onto a small plate or bowl. Then, carefully slide the eggs onto the pizza, spacing them evenly apart.
-
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (using a pizza peel if placing it on a pizza stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
-
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
-
For added flavor, consider adding sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers before baking the pizza.
-
If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, you can break the yolks before placing them on the pizza or increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
