Instructions
Preheat the oven to 210C/450F (fan). Once preheated, place the bacon on the pizza tray and cook for 5-8 minutes, until cooked, but not quite crisp. Remove from the oven and slice. Put to one side.
4 strips streaky bacon
Whilst the bacon is in the oven, roll out the pizza dough, dusting with the flour, so it doesn't stick to your work surface. It needs to be around 1 inch smaller than the pizza tray. You can buy ready-rolled pizza dough. Sometimes this is rectangular shaped. If it is, you can squash it back into a ball and re-roll to a round shape.
Dust the edges of the pizza dough with the semolina.
1 tbsp dried semolina
Transfer the pizza to the now-empty, but still warm pizza tray.
Spoon on the passata and use a spoon to spread all over the pizza base. Leave a thin border of the dough showing.
120 ml (1/2 cup) passata or pizza sauce
Sprinkle on both of the cheeses and make 3 wells in the cheese for the eggs*. Crack an egg into a small bowl and discard half of the egg white. Carefully pour the egg into one of the wells and repeat with the other two eggs.
100 g (1 cup minus 2 tbsp) cheddar cheese, 100 g (1 cup minus 2 tbsp) mozzarella cheese, 3 large eggs
Scatter the tomatoes and mushrooms over the pizza, then brush the mushrooms with the melted butter.
Arrange the cooked bacon on top of the pizza and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
good pinch of salt and pepper
Place in the oven to cook for 9-12 minutes, until the crust is browned, the cheese has melted and the egg white is cooked. Sprinkle on fresh chopped parsley and serve.
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Notes
* It can be difficult to ensure the egg yolk stays runny whilst the pizza is cooking. If you want to ensure this, cook the pizza with all of the other toppings first for the first 5-6 minutes, then add the eggs for the last 5 minutes..Nutritional Information is per serving.
