Bacon and Egg Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 6 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp chives
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round and transfer to a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Cook the 6 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble.

3. 3

   Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1.5 cups mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border. Scatter the crumbled bacon over the cheese.

4. 4

   Bake the pizza for 10 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 375°F.

5. 5

   Carefully crack the 4 eggs onto the pizza, spacing them evenly. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper.

6. 6

   Return to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped chives before serving.

7. 7

   Let rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
