Let's cook

  1. Preheat properly

    Heat the oven with a stone or heavy tray inside at 475°F (245°C) for at least 20 minutes.

  2. Use a cream base

    Mix the crème fraîche with the garlic, salt, and pepper and spread thinly. Tomato sauce clashes with eggs; a cream base is what makes this work.

  3. Part-bake first

    Top with cheese and bacon and bake 8 minutes before the eggs go anywhere near it.

    💡

    Eggs added at the start end up leathery. They need only the final few minutes.

  4. Add eggs in wells

    Pull the pizza out, make four shallow wells in the cheese, and crack an egg into each.

  5. Finish

    Return for 5–6 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks still run. Top with scallions, chilli flakes, and pepper.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

Crack each egg into a small bowl first and slide it on, rather than cracking directly onto the pizza where it can run off the edge. Cook slightly longer if you prefer firm yolks, but the runny yolk acts as a sauce.

  • Vegetarian: Sautéed mushrooms and spinach in place of bacon.
  • Naan or flatbread: Works as a fast base; reduce the part-bake to 4 minutes.
  • Sausage: Crumbled and pre-cooked breakfast sausage instead of bacon.
