Instructions
0 Preheat your oven to 425 degrees 1 Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat 2 Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar 3 Cook over medium heat until the onions begin to soften and develop a lightly golden brown color 4 Sprinkle the onions with a big pinch of salt and black pepper and add a splash of stock 5 Cook until the stock is absorbed, stirring occasionally, and repeat the process, adding another splash of stock every few minutes until the onions are caramelized, soft and golden brown 6 While the onions are caramelizing, brown the Italian sausage 7 Once the onions and Italian sausage are cooked, set them aside for now 8 Make the béchamel by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan, whisking in 2 tablespoons of flour and cooking the mixture for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly 9 Slowly add 1/2 cup of whole milk while continuing to whisk, add a pinch of salt and black pepper and as soon as the béchamel thickens, remove from the heat 10 To assemble the pizza, unroll the pizza dough onto a pizza pan or wide flat baking sheet 11 Spread the béchamel thinly over the pizza dough leaving a 1/2” boarder around the outer edge 12 Top the béchamel with 4 ounces of finely shredded mozzarella 13 Add the caramelized onions and browned Italian sausage 14 Bake the pizza for 8 minutes and then transfer it back onto a heat proof surface leaving the oven set to 425 degrees 15 Use a large spoon to form four nests in the toppings and crack the eggs into those nests 16 Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the pizza 17 Bake the pizza for 8-12 minutes at 425 degrees depending on how you prefer your eggs to be set 18 Once the pizza is baked, transfer it onto a heat proof surface 19 Top with fresh arugula and some crushed red pepper flakes (optional) and slice into wedges 20 Serve immediately with fresh fruitView original recipe
