What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Whitewashed Egg Pizza! Putting an egg on pizza? Seriously? I know this might sound a little weird, but take a baby step out of your comfort zone. The first time I saw fried egg on a pizza, I was visiting the south of France. It’s really quite common there. In fact, you’re the fortunate one if you get the egg on your slice at a takeaway stand. You really must give it a whirl. I find as long as I bake in stages, the end result is a crispy crust with an egg over easy. Just imagine how fun it will be to pop the egg yolk and spread it around so everyone gets a taste.
WHITEWASHED EGG PIZZA
Ingredients:
1 naan
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons chunky pasta sauce
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
3/4 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
2 onion rings, nested
1 egg
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
2-3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Dash of pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°. Set oven rack on middle setting. (For the last step you will raise it up one setting.) Rub olive oil over surface of naan. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Spoon chunky pasta sauce evenly over naan. Use 1 tablespoon fresh basil over sauce. Sprinkle with gruyere cheese. Bake 5 minutes until slightly melted. Remove from oven. Raise the oven rack up one setting. Place the nested onions on a flat portion of the crust. Gently crack an egg into the center of the onion rings. Distribute the mozzarella cheese over the pizza, excluding the egg area. Dollop the Greek yogurt over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 5 minutes longer or until egg is set. If the crust becomes too brown, cover it with foil, leaving the egg portion uncovered. When cheese is gooey and egg is cooked, remove from oven. Garnish with fresh basil.
Looks tasty.

I have seen pizzas with an egg on top and they always look so yummy, yours included!! I really should try this some time. I love the idea of using the onion rings to contain the egg too. 🙂

I think that onion ring saved the egg from running all over the pizza stone. lol 🍓
