Description
There’s something irresistibly comforting about starting the day with a slice of homemade pizza, especially when it’s our Sausage Breakfast Pizza. The crispiness of the sweet Italian sausage, combined with the melt-in-your-mouth fontina and sharp pecorino romano, creates a symphony of flavors. Topped with perfectly cooked eggs, each slice is a reminder of how simple ingredients can transform breakfast into a gourmet experience.
Ingredients
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 oz (1 link) sweet Italian sausage
1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ onion, finely diced
⅓ cup pizza sauce
3 oz shredded fontina
2 oz shredded pecorino romano
3 eggs
½ recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
Instructions
Place pizza steel or stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. Let heat up for 45 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the same pan, add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Continue cooking until golden brown and very soft, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Prep the eggs by cracking each into a small bowl and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Flour a work surface. Flatten a dough ball into a large disk with a thick 1-inch lip. Use gravity to shape into a 12-inch circle on a floured pizza peel.
Spread dough with tomato sauce, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with cheeses, cooked sausage, and caramelized onions.
Slide pizza onto steel and make three wells in the toppings. Pour an egg into each well and bake for 8-10 minutes.
