Breakfast Pizza with Pancetta and Egg

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Inspired by Spaghetti Carbonara and also known as 'Pizza Bismarck'. This is a rich, rustic dish where the egg yolk acts as a creamy sauce over the crispy crust. The challenge is timing: the dough must bake through while keeping the yolk runny. A luxurious take on 'breakfast for dinner'.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat your oven to max (450-480°F). Roll out the dough, leaving a thicker rim to hold the eggs.

Tip: The thicker crust acts as a dam, preventing the egg whites from running off.
2 ✓

Brush lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with mozzarella and the thin slices of pancetta.

Tip: The fat from the pancetta will render out and season the crust.
3 ✓

Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the crust is nearly done and the cheese is melted.

Tip: Par-baking ensures the crust is crispy underneath the egg.
4 ✓

Remove the pizza and carefully crack two eggs into the center (or wherever you like).

Tip: Crack eggs into a small bowl first, then slide them onto the pizza to avoid shells and spills.
5 ✓

Return to the oven for another 3-4 minutes. Watch closely: remove as soon as whites are opaque but yolks are still jiggly.

Tip: The goal is set whites with a runny yolk.
6 ✓

Immediately season generously with fresh black pepper and serve. Dip the crust in the yolk!

Tip: The pepper cuts through the richness of the egg and bacon.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the egg hard?
It was added too early. Eggs only need a few minutes, while the pizza needs more. Add them at the end!
Is the egg white raw?
Egg whites set at around 140-150°F. In a hot oven, this happens in moments, making it safe to eat.
