I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins, steak and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds.
My outdoor kitchen has a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable and it is wonderful. There also is a Pit Boss 5 Burner Ultimate Griddle.
There is an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.
My wife and I have decided that we are now safe for the occasional outdoor and distanced meal since we are vaccinated. Tonight we went to a local joint that we had only made it to once before the pandemic as it was quite new. The name is Medici and their specialty is Neapolitan pizza. I swear this pizza wasn't on their menu on our first visit, but my wife spotted the "Egg N' Bacon" and just had to try it. It had bacon, sausage, lots of garlic and fresh mozzarella. It was topped with an over easy egg after coming out of the oven and the runny yolk served somewhat as the sauce. She enjoyed it a lot. I wasn't as daring, having the "The Devil's" with sausage and spicy peppers.
So is bacon and egg pizza a thing, or is this a crazy one-off creation by these folks?
I'm making pizza tonight and was considering adding bacon to the asparagus I had planned to use. My girlfriend hates eggs so we won't be entertaining that idea. To answer your question I do think breakfast pizza is a little bit of a thing.
It is a thing. Have had lots of pizza with egg on it and quite a few with bacon (or pancetta) and egg. Add some shaved black truffles and then you are talking special.
A local grocery chain that sold out to another chain had killer breakfast pizza, (American cheese, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon), but the new owners discontinued them.
Breakfast pizza is very popular here. One of the local joints makes this: Aunt Angie’s Special - capicola, fried sweet peppers, meatballs, and slices of boiled egg. It’s actually very good.
