Recipe By: Grace Parisi This is not the pizza you get in the freezer aisle or your local delivery restaurant.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen pizza dough
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. chopped rosemary
- 4 oz. thinly sliced pancetta
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp. Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 bunches of arugula (1/2 pound)
Instructions
- Set a pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, stretch and roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to a floured pizza peel, shaking it to make sure it doesn't stick. Brush the edge of the dough with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle on the rosemary. Arrange the pancetta slices on the dough, overlapping them slightly. Bake the pizza for 8 minutes, until the dough is golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, bring a deep medium skillet of water to a simmer. Crack the eggs into individual cups and slide them to the water. Poach the eggs in the simmering water for 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. In a large bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil with the lemon juice and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the arugula.
- Mound the arugula salad on top of the pizza. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the pizza. Cut the pizza into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
