Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 500°F and place a pizza stone inside to heat up.
2
Start by rinsing Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns in a colander under cool water to eliminate excess starch. Drain well.
3
To ensure the hash browns are extra crispy, place them in a clean dish towel and wring out any remaining moisture.
4
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a round shape measuring approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
5
Using a spatula, spread 2/3 of the bacon jam evenly over the rolled out pizza dough. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges.
6
Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the bacon jam, creating an even layer.
7
Spread the rinsed and dried hash browns over the mozzarella cheese and top them with the remaining 1.5 cups of cheese.
8
Create 4 small depressions in the pizza, ensuring even spacing, and crack an egg into each depression.
9
Dollop the remaining bacon jam around the top of the pizza for extra flavor burst.
10
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot pizza stone in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
11
Keep an eye on the pizza as baking times may vary based on your oven. Adjust the cooking time as needed for perfectly baked eggs.
