Ingredients

  • 12 ounces refrigerated fresh pizza dough
  • 2/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup)

Method

  • Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 500° (keep pizza stone or baking sheet in oven as it preheats).
  • Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Combine ricotta and salt in a small bowl.
  • Roll dough into an 11-inch circle on a floured surface. Carefully remove pizza stone from oven. Arrange dough on pizza stone. Spread ricotta mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Combine asparagus and oil in a bowl. Top ricotta mixture with asparagus mixture, gently pressing asparagus into ricotta. Bake at 500° for 5 minutes.
  • Crack eggs over top of pizza (do not remove pizza from oven). Bake 4 minutes or until whites are set. Sprinkle with pepper and Parmesan. Cut into 8 slices.
