Eggs on Pizza

[kkgator]

Has anyone successfully fried/cooked an egg on top of pizza dough?
Any thoughts on the matter?
I'd love to make a tomatillo sauce as the base & then crack 2 eggs on top along with some Monterey jack cheese w/maybe some sausage, onions & peppers.

Know as an "Aussie"
Tomatoe, ham, Shredded cheese , break the egg in you hand and " scatter the broken yolk and white through the cheese. Go its use you hands does make the difference

Yes, i have, and its amazing. The popular dish has originated from Armenia and/or Georgia.

Here is one i did. Its basically dough, butter, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese and eggs.

Hi Michael.
had I realised that you were in Los Angeles and cooking like that, I would have given you a call when over there earlier this year, as I wasted 5 days there at the end of my Route 66 journey!

I make breakfast pizzas sometimes. I scramble the eggs though, not just break them over. Sauce, cheese, then eggs and bacon or sausage.

I'm with Dave here mostly except I use a fork and a bowl instead of my hands (I will try Dave's method though). Thrown dough or something with an edge is better for keeping the egg on the dough when you slip it off the peel, otherwise the smoked flavour from burning egg isn't all that much of a additive (imo). I'm still trying to figure out how to keep them 'standing' as they do this crazy souffle thing.

Don't beat them with a fork you'll introduce air that's why they do the souffl? thing. Just use shredded cheese and the egg will get soaked into it and stay on the pizza. Breaking the egg by hand and scattering it about means you get both patches of yolk and white, different flavour and texture.

Re: Eggs on Pizza

You sound like an artist. I like the souffle' thing (I gotta figure out how to make my system do the accent grave like you). The live fire thing on eggs is something everyone has to experience. I've heard that the one of the the entry questions for chefs is how to cook an egg. I'd definitely do a live fire one. Still figuring out the details but on dough with pig on top and tomato somewhere inbetween is a great start!

Re: Eggs on Pizza

G'day PYG
Not a artist buy any means but I do enjoy creating things .
Now if you like the souffl? thing here's a couple of ideas.
The base like you said precook it , lightly , with the tomato and bacon/ham.
Get yourself a nice fresh egg. Separate the white, a pinch of salt , 4 drops of water and beat it with a whisk till all the big bubbles disappear and its smooth. Beat the egg yolk then gently fold it back into the "white".
At this point it might need some experimenting. The edges of your dough might be enough to contain the mix.
Or you could use a raft of cheese or an edge of cheese as a dam?
If you do experiment please post some pics etc

Re: Eggs on Pizza

Semi scrambled eggs with crumbled feta cheese on a cream cheese type sauce base.

The feta cheese works really well with eggs... And its inherent saltiness means you don't have to add anything to the eggs. Must scramble them just until the point they start to form solids and the oven will do the rest

Add strips/diced bacon/Italian cured meat too


Note.. I use Peter reinhart's crab and cream cheese sauce base... Love it~~

Think I might have a pic of it on my site

Re: Eggs on Pizza

Sometimes I'll crack an egg on top of a pizza. It hardly cooks at all in the 55 or so seconds it's in the WFO. After I pull out the pie, I use a fork to smear it all over the surface and let the heat in the pizza finish the cooking. It doesn't make for the prettiest pie, but it can be really tasty.

Re: Eggs on Pizza

We made an Eggs Benedict pizza using whole eggs. They were nested between the cheese and prosicutto, over a hollandaise base, then a little more hollandaise post bake. I think it was a 2-2.5 minute pie, but I don't remember exactly. The eggs came out medium.

Re: Eggs on Pizza

i make bacon and egg and mozz pizza sometimes with sausage and or onion. its one of my favourites. my method is spread and top the pizza as normal, slide in and just wait for the base to firm abit, slide peel back under then crack egg in the middle of the pizza, dome the pizza briefly just so the white of the egg starts to set then back on the floor to finish off. when it comes out i put it on the board then i break the runny yolk and sort of spread it around the pizza abit! free range fresh eggs if possible makes a difference!

Re: Eggs on Pizza

If you are trying to put an egg on each slice, bake them to set the whites first, or you will have a big juicy mess on your hands. Do not use cheese with this type of pizza which has more liquid. Going with traditional cream, may be nice.
