Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F/ 218º C (or at the temperature indicated on the package).
- Line a large, round baking sheet with parchment paper.
To make the Pizza a Portuguesa:
- Brush one (12-inch) pizza crust with olive oil, if desired (It seals the crust and makes it crispier). Spread the tomato sauce on top and then distribute the shredded cheese. Overlap the ham in the center of the pizza, and arrange the slices of sausage (optional), tomato and onion.
- Slice one of the hard-boiled eggs and reserve to decorate the pizza when it comes out of the oven. Chopped the yolk of the other hard-boiled egg and sprinkle in the center of the pizza. Decorate with black olives, sprinkle on the oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 10 minutes (or follow instructions on the package of the pizza crust), remove from oven, and decorate with the slices of hard-boiled egg. Drizzle the pizza a portuguesa with a little bit of olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chouriço is a Portuguese sausage made with pork, fat, wine, paprika and salt. It is stuffed into natural or artificial casings and slowly dried over smoke. It is similar to Spanish chorizo (the sweet one — not the spicy). If chouriço is not available, you can use the sweet chorizo from Spain instead (not the one from Mexico because it contains different seasonings)
