Pizza Bismarck with Egg and Ham

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who reputedly loved eggs on everything. This dish is essentially breakfast (ham, eggs, bread) in pizza form. The key is timing: the white must set, but the yolk must remain creamy to act as a sauce for each bite.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out dough, spread with sauce, sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Oven needs to be hot for the egg white to set quickly.
2 ✓

Add ham and mozzarella, but leave 4 small "nests" (indentations) among the toppings for the eggs.

Tip: The nest keeps the egg from sliding off the pizza during baking.
3 ✓

Bake for 8-10 minutes, then pull out. Crack eggs into the nests.

Tip: If added at the start, the eggs will be hard-boiled. Adding them halfway guarantees perfection.
4 ✓

Return to oven for 3-5 minutes until whites are white but yolks still jiggly. Season eggs and serve with basil.

Tip: Yolks take longer to set than whites due to fat content, but keep an eye on them.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the egg run everywhere?
Egg whites can be very runny. Crack it into a small bowl first, then gently slide it onto the pizza, or use a spoon to make a small well in the cheese.
