INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🍖 6 ounces hot Italian sausage, sliced

  • Bakery

    • 🍞 12 ounces unbaked pizza dough, at room temperature

  • Pantry Staples

    • 2 tablespoons cornmeal, or as needed
    • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Cheese

    • 🧀 6 ounces shredded Fontina cheese, divided
    • 🧀 1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

  • Eggs

    • 🥚 4 eggs

  • Vegetables

    • 🥬 1 cup baby arugula leaves, washed and dried

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

2

Cook sliced Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

3

Roll out pizza dough to 12 inches in diameter and 3/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with cornmeal, then flip it so the cornmeal side is down and place on a 14-inch pizza pan.

4

Spread pizza sauce thinly over the dough. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and 3/4 of the Fontina cheese. Add sausage slices, leaving 4 spaces for eggs. Sprinkle remaining Fontina cheese on top of the sausage.

5

Bake the pizza in the oven until the edges are browning and the cheese starts to melt, about 10–12 minutes.

6

Crack each egg into a small bowl. Remove the pizza from the oven, press the spaces between sausage slices flat, and pour an egg into each space. Grind black pepper onto the yolks, sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and return the pizza to the oven.

7

Bake until the eggs are set but yolks are still runny, about 5 more minutes. Toss arugula with olive oil and spread over the pizza. Cut into quarters and serve.
