Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cream fraiche
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped tarragon
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 lb store-bought pizza dough
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 1/2 lb double-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into short thick matchsticks
  • 2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1 Fresno chile, finely diced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 oz soft goat cheese, cut into small pieces and frozen for 5 minute

Directions

  1. Whisk together the creme fraiche, parsley, chives and tarragon in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400. Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece into a very thin 10×12 inch rectangle. Brush with canola oil, place on baking sheets and bake until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.

  3. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil and 1 tbsp of the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sugar and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.

  5. Divide the creme fraiche between the pizzas, spreading it out. Divide the cheddar on top and then add the onion and bacon. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

  6. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tbsp butter in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the Frensno chile and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Whisk the eggs in a bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until soft curds form. Add the goat cheese.

  7. Divide the scrambled eggs between the two pizzas and garnish with more herbs.
