Pizza on a baguette for breakfast topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf soft French or Italian baguette (about 350 g), cut in half lengthwise
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 8 strips bacon (about 170 g)
- 8 large eggs
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup prepared spicy mayonnaise, such as Sriracha or chipotle sauce
- 170 g soft cheddar, grated on a coarse grater (about 1.5 cups)
- Hot sauce, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to broil. Cut each slice of bread in half crosswise, then place cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Grill until the bread is lightly toasted and browned around the edges, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard any rendered fat from the skillet.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half of the green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Then, pour into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring with a heatproof silicone spatula, until the eggs are set in large, soft clumps, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spread the toasted bread slices with spicy mayonnaise, then sprinkle with about half of the cheddar. Top each pizza with 2 slices of bacon. Evenly spread the scrambled eggs on top, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Return the bread to the oven and broil until all the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle each pizza with the remaining green onions and serve drizzled with hot sauce.
