You know the old saying, " Don't knock it until you try it", well all I can say is this, if you haven't eaten a pizza with a cooked egg on top, you're missing out! I know it may sound a little weird, but believe me it's amazing!Crunchy dough and savory tomatoes anchor one perfectly cracked organic egg along with toppings of smoked ham, fresh spinach, green onions and mozzarella cheese. A complete breakfast all in one, and because they're mini, you can tailor the toppings to every one's individual likings.
Wouldn't this be great to serve to your special Valentine on Sunday morning? You still have time. You can make your own homemade dough or pick up some up from your favorite store or pizza place. Before you begin though, make sure your dough is at room temperature. Get your oven nice and hot, at least 500F. Rub olive oil on your baking sheet and dust with polenta or cornmeal.
For the heart, take your time and shape it by hand, remember these are mini's, but make sure you have enough room for the egg white to travel once it's placed on top.
I like to precook my dough for 5 minutes before anything goes on top, this will also set the shape of the heart or any other shape for that matter.
Crack your egg into a small bowl before it goes on the pizza, you'll have more control, then add whatever toppings you like. Bake until dough is crispy and eggs are cooked through. Now don't you want to just stick your fork in that yoke and let it all ooze out?
Happy V-Day, and Buon Appetito!
