Author Notes
I used store bough pesto and pizza dough, but if you have the time, home made would be even better. I used 3 types of cheeses to add some diversity and at the last minute cracked two eggs on the pizza. Delicious! —Megan Mitchell
Ingredients
-
1
Pizza Dough
-
1/2 cup
White Aged Cheddar
-
1/2 cup
Italian Fontina
-
1/4 cup
Manchego Cheese
-
1/2 cup
Pesto
-
2-4
Whole Eggs
-
Fresh Cracked Pepper
-
Sea Salt
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 430 and lightly dust a cookie sheet with flour.
-
On a lightly floured surface roll pizza dough into a rectangle or whatever shape you desire. Transfer dough to cookie sheet.
-
Evenly spread the pesto all over the pizza. Even to the edges, not leaving a border.
-
Begin grating the cheese with a Microplane zester/grater over the pizza. Do this with all three cheeses.
-
Make 2-4 small wells in the cheese and crack 1 egg in each well. Salt and pepper the eggs. It is best to use fresh eggs in this recipe so the whites don't spread too much.
-
Place pizza in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you like your pizza. The cheese should be bubbly and the egg whites should be set but the yolks will still be runny.
