Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1/2 pound maple sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Cook the maple sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
- Place the pre-made pizza crust on a large baking sheet or pizza stone. If the crust is not pre-baked, lightly brush with olive oil to ensure a crispy base.
- Spread the cooked maple sausage evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage, covering the surface uniformly.
- Create two small wells in the cheese and sausage mixture where you will crack the eggs. Carefully crack the eggs into these spaces.
- Season the eggs and pizza with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle maple syrup evenly across the surface.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and color.
- Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
Tips
- • Use a pre-baked pizza crust for extra crispiness and to reduce overall cooking time. • For perfectly runny egg yolks, watch your pizza closely in the last few minutes of baking. • Make sure to drain the sausage thoroughly to prevent a soggy crust. • If you prefer firmer eggs, cook the pizza a minute or two longer. • Experiment with different cheese blends like adding cheddar for extra flavor. • Prep your ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable. • Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make slicing easier. • For a gourmet touch, try using artisan maple sausage or adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
