Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 1 , 14 Inch Pizza

Ingredients

  • Premade Pizza Dough
  • 4 Strips of Partly Cooked Bacon chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Clove of Garlic grated
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3 Eggs
  • Pesto:
  • ½ Cup Fresh Peas
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Mint Leaf roughly chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Basil
  • 1 Tablespoon Grated Parmesan
  • Pinch of Salt and Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place a pizza stone or pan in the oven to heat up while the oven warms.
  2. Add bacon to a skillet and cook until almost crispy. You want it to finish crisping in the oven. Roughly chop the bacon. Set off to the side.
  3. Mix the olive oil and garlic together in a small bowl.
  4. On a lightly floured surface roll the pizza dough out to about a 14 inch circle. Brush the dough with the garlic oil. Pull the pan out of the oven. Sprinkle a little bit of flour on the hot pan to prevent it from sticking. Transfer the dough to the pan. Sprinkle the cheese and bacon all over the pizza leaving about an inch from the edge for the crust. Add the eggs right on top of the cheese.
  5. Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes until eggs are cooked through and crust is golden and crispy.
  6. While the pizza bakes, add all of the pesto ingredients to a food processor. Puree until smooth. You might want to add a little more olive oil if you like a thinner pesto.
  7. Once the pizza is cooked, remove from oven, and break a few yolks if you desire. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Top with little streaks of pesto and some crushed red pepper flakes, slice and then serve.
