Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package pre-made pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle or your desired pizza shape. Carefully transfer the dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the surface of the dough with the olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to form the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan.
Scatter the crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and red onion slices over the cheese.
Using the back of a spoon, create four small indentations in the toppings and carefully crack one egg into each indent.
Season the entire pizza with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the pizza to the oven, either directly onto the pizza stone or by placing the baking sheet on the oven rack. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the egg whites are just set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the torn basil leaves over the top.
Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your savory brunch pizza hot!
