Gorgonzola, Caramelized Onion, and Prosciutto Pizza with an Egg

Rich mushrooms, bold cheese, sweet onions and salty prosciutto are melded together with a runny yolk that is perfect to dip a pizza crust into.

This mess of a pizza that came about by total accident (read: I was somehow missing three key ingredients for what I originally wanted to make), and so substitutions took place.

Layers. That’s what this pizza is all about. First up, asiago cheese goes on the bottom (no red sauce or white sauce on this guy). Then comes the prosciutto, thinly spread over the entire pie. Caramelized onions and crimini mushrooms come next, forming your vegetable layer.

Then a heavy handed sprinkling of gorgonzola cheese. And finally, when you’re ready to pop the thing in the oven, you’ll crack your eggs right on top. You end up with a crispy crust with salty and sweet toppings plus that beautiful gooey egg yolk on top.
