RECIPE: Eggs In Purgatory, Eggs On Pizza
|
This spicy “breakfast pizza” can be enjoyed all |
Want a delicious, hearty pizza for breakfast or brunch? Head to Ortine Cafe in Brooklyn, New York for an Eggs in Purgatory Pizza—two eggs poached atop the pizza, a spicy red sauce, caramelized onions, Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Not in the neighborhood? Make one yourself. Eggs in Purgatory is an Italian dish (similiar to the Israeli dish, shakshuka) where eggs are baked in a spicy red sauce. “Purgatory” refers to the heat in the recipe. The classic recipe is an egg dish, not a pizza. But the pizza dough eliminates the need for bread on the side, and the egg yolks running over the spicy sauce and crust are a delectable combination.
