BACON BREAKFAST PIZZA

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 bacon slices, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1 (13.8-ounce can) refrigerated classic pizza crust
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (8-ounce) package Mozzarella Cheese, thinly sliced
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 large eggs
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until just golden but not yet crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
4. Brush dough with olive oil and garlic. Top with mozzarella, bacon and green onions, leaving 3 (3-inch rounds) for the eggs.
5. Place into oven and bake until the edges begin to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
6. Remove from oven. Add eggs, gently cracking the eggs throughout and keeping the yolk intact.
7. Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set and crust is golden brown, an additional 8-10 minutes.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired.
