Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
- Assemble the Pizza: Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Scatter the cooked bacon and cherry tomato halves across the cheese.
- Add the Eggs: Carefully crack each egg over the pizza, spacing them evenly apart. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet by sliding the parchment paper. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Finish with Chives: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the chopped chives over the top. Drizzle with a little olive oil for added flavor.
- Serve: Slice and serve the pizza immediately, enjoying the combination of crispy bacon, gooey cheese, and perfectly cooked eggs.
