Recipe: Hangover pizza

Ingredients
  • 1 pound of pizza dough, at cool temperature (you can often buy dough from a local pizzeria or gourmet market, like Whole Foods)
  • 10 ounces of robiola cheese, rind removed, at room temperature
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of white truffle oil
  • 4 eggs
  • Arugula
Preparation

About 30 minutes before baking the pizza, preheat oven to 500 degrees and place a large rimless or upside-down baking sheet in the lower third of the oven.

Roll out dough on floured parchment paper, place on baking tray and bake for 8 minutes, popping any bubbles that pop up while cooking.

Spread softened cheese, salt and pepper on the baked dough. Top with arugula and crack the four eggs on top. Place pizza back in the oven for three to five minutes until the eggs are cooked.

Sprinkle finished pizza with truffle oil.
