Bacon Breakfast Pizza
Description
The recipe begins by cooking bacon pieces until just golden on the stovetop, retaining some juiciness. A refrigerated pizza crust is rolled into a 12-inch circle on a cornmeal-dusted surface and then transferred to an oiled baking sheet. The dough is brushed with olive oil mixed with minced garlic to add aroma and flavor.
Mozzarella slices, partially cooked bacon, and sliced green onions are evenly distributed on the dough, leaving space for the eggs. The pizza is baked until the edges begin to brown. Then eggs are carefully cracked into the reserved spots, keeping yolks whole, and the pizza is returned to the oven until egg whites are set and the crust is golden and crisp.
The finished pizza brings together melty mozzarella, smoky bacon, tender cooked eggs, and a garlicky crust. It can be served immediately with optional parsley and red pepper flakes for a touch of freshness and heat. This layered cooking approach ensures varied textures and a satisfying breakfast experience.
Ingredients
- 8 Bacon cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces, slices
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 pizza crust refrigerated, 13.8-ounce can, classic
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 fresh mozzarella cheese Stella®, 8-ounce package, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 3 egg large
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until just golden but not yet crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Brush dough with olive oil and garlic. Top with mozzarella, bacon and green onions, leaving 3 (3-inch rounds) for the eggs.
- Place into oven and bake until the edges begin to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Add eggs, gently cracking the eggs throughout and keeping the yolk intact.
- Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set and crust is golden brown, an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired.
