Rebecca Haley-Park
Crisp asparagus and silky eggs pair beautifully with two iconic sheep’s milk cheeses.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • Flour for dusting
  • ½ recipe Overnight Pizza Dough
  • 6 ounces Roquefort crumbled
  • 6 ounces mozzarella grated
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Pecorino Romano to finish
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 to 4 eggs as desired

Instructions
 

  • Holding each asparagus spear by its thick end, run a vegetable peeler down to the tip to create thin shavings. Snap off remaining tough ends.
  • Heat oven to 500°F. Flour an overturned baking sheet. Stretch dough to a 13-by-9- inch rectangle, and transfer to baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle dough with Roquefort and mozzarella. Spread asparagus evenly over cheese, and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Pecorino.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until bottom of crust has browned. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet, and fry until whites are set. Place eggs on top of pizza, and serve immediately.
