Eggie Pizza!


Homemade pizzas are one of our standby meals. Normally that means a pre-made crust, Newman's Own pasta sauce, and whatever veggies we have on hand, finished off with a healthy dose of hot sauce and/or giardiniera. But today, Chad had a delicious idea: an egg.

I love eggs on anything, especially when I can call it dinner. I've seen a few Neapolitan-style places that serve pizzas topped with a fried egg or two but I'd never tried it before.

Oh man, it was tasty. Egg, garlic, yellow pepper, onion, and some Cholula made for the perfect combination. Obviously, you could really top any pizza with an egg, and I recommend you do so, but I would suggest you don't lose the garlic. It just adds such a nice bite.

I can guarantee we will be making some variation of this pizza again. It's just such an easy way to spice up an otherwise routine meal. Now all I need is a proper pizza stone so I can start making my own pizza dough and then I'm really in business.

Update: I didn't even say how to cook it! We set the oven at 375 and cracked the egg on top midway through. All told, it took about 10 minutes for the egg to set. We put it on a little late, so the pizza was a little on the crispy side, but still delicious.
