BACON PIZZA

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 16 oz. store-bought pizza dough
• 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, grated
• 1 cup heavy cream, reduced to 1/2 cup
• 1/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
• 2 eggs
• Black pepper
• 1/2 lb. bacon slices, cut into 1/2-in. strips, cooked and drained
• 2 scallions, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425. Lightly brush a half-sheet pan (18 × 13-in.) with olive oil. Roll and/or stretch the dough into a large rectangle. Place it on the prepared pan and pinch into the corners. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top and drizzle with cream. Top with Pecorino-Romano. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

2. Remove pizza from the oven and using the back of a spoon, make 2 shallow indentations. Crack an egg into each one. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and cool for 1 minute. Just before serving, drag a knife through the yolks. Season with black pepper; top with bacon and scallions.
