Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Remove the puff pastry sheet from the refrigerator and let it thaw at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it's pliable but still cold.
- Carefully unfold the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet, gently smoothing out any creases or folds.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges to create a rustic crust.
- Sprinkle the crumbled turkey sausage evenly over the marinara sauce, ensuring consistent distribution.
- Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage, covering the surface uniformly.
- Create four small wells in the cheese and sausage mixture, carefully cracking an egg into each well.
- Season the eggs and entire pizza with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing into four equal portions.
- Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or basil if desired.
Tips
- Ensure your puff pastry is cold but pliable when handling to maintain its signature flaky texture.
- Use a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone for an extra crisp bottom crust.
- For perfectly runny egg yolks, watch your baking time carefully - 20-25 minutes is the sweet spot.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some fresh herbs like basil or parsley just before serving.
- If you prefer firmer eggs, simply extend the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- Use high-quality marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella for the best flavor profile.
