Bacon and Egg Pizza

From Sam Sifton: What I do instead is separate the eggs into yolks and whites, then use a squeeze bottle to drizzle the whites over the pizza as it goes into the oven, finishing the pie with drizzles of yolk when it’s done. The heat of the pizza warms the yolk through — and there’s white and yolk in every bite.

Use grocery store plain naan oiled on both sides, sprinkle of cornmeal. Now the bacon, tomato slices. Heat to bubbly, put those over easy eggs on top. It’s wonderful.

Saturday mornings are happier in our house thanks to this recipe. Kid and parent approved. Yum.

Made this with Trader Joe’s Herb’s pizza crust, Turkey bacon and drained cottage cheese. It was absolutely delicious. I omitted the basil since the crust was herbaceous. It was delicious!

Does everybody in the world prefer runny yolks? I like mine hard cooked and besides it is healthier from everything I read.

Suggest you crack the eggs in a separate bowl just to be sure you do not get a bad egg on your pizza. It doesn't happen often, but there is a bad egg every once in a while among the millions sold in this country. Doing this also prevents you from inadvertently adding a piece of eggshell to your pizza, too.

Try adding lemon zest to ricotta

Dint have bacon so I substituted crumbled a burger amount of Beyond Meat sautéed and broken up. Also used store made whole wheat dough all of which worked great!

Used my own sour dough, pre-baked crust. Added olive oil, garlic salt, bacon-fried shitake mushrooms, pre-fried eggs to everyone’s taste, and served with a side of dressed arugula.

Use about 1/2 of the ricotta and 2/3 of the mozzarella.

Got all crazy and made this exactly as written. Well, okay, I added some lemon zest to the ricotta,/garlic but that's it! Fantastic, right down to the timing. My oven only goes to 480, but that was fine. We loved it and it was a fun Sunday treat. Note that when you shop for all the ingredients, you'll have enough for a second round, so factor that in. Invite more people to breakfast, have pizza two days in a row, or maybe try that Creamed Spinach Pasta from Colu Henry.

We bake this pizza on our outdoor gas pizza grill. We tried it a few times as recipe directed to break the eggs and then bake but landed on scrambling eggs and distributing evenly over the pizza. You could use 2-4 eggs, depending on how many you are serving or your appetite.

I made a semi vegan version with Vegan bacon, vegan Mozz and regular everything else. Turned out GREAT! Fantastic brunch option!

If you are using pre-made crusts, flatbread, or such be aware that the egg will tend to run off the pie and onto the backing surface especially if the toppings are not deep enough to "make a divot" mentioned in step 5. Making sure there is a raised edge during step 4 might be a good idea if using dough. And it tastes delicious!

Next time I make this I am going to put it right on the pizza stone. I like my crust a little bit crispier on the bottom. I used turkey bacon and part skin mozzarella just to cut down on some of the richness. I will definitely cut down on the amount of ricotta next time and probably add some vegetables. I served it with fresh arugula and sprinkled it with chives. I cooked the eggs directly on the pizza and they turned out perfect.
