Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces pancetta, diced and cooked until crisp
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg and the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
- Spread the egg and Parmesan mixture thinly over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top, then scatter the cooked pancetta over the cheese.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and carefully crack the remaining egg over the hot pizza. Return it to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, until the egg white is just set but the yolk remains soft.
- Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- Bake at high heat to achieve a crisp crust.
- Do not overcook the final egg, the yolk should remain slightly soft for a creamy finish.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven to restore crispness.
