Photo: Herbed Roasted Mushrooms with Fried Egg Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds button or cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 (1 pound) store-bought baked pizza crust
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 8 ounces fresh ricotta
- 1 large egg
Directions
Heat the oven to 450 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Combine mushrooms, 3 tablespoons oil, and rosemary on a baking sheet, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Place in oven and roast until mushrooms are shrunken, and browned about, 20 minutes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the balsamic and toss to coat.
Scatter half of the Parmesan on the pizza. Discard rosemary and arrange mushrooms on top. Distribute ricotta on top of the mushrooms and top with remaining Parmesan and a drizzle of the olive oil. Bake until crust is browned and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a small frying pan over medium heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. When oil shimmers, add egg and fry until set, bubbly and brown on the edges, and the pan is almost dry. Carefully add remaining 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and reduce slightly. Place egg on top of pizza. Reduce the balsamic vinegar about 1 to 2 minutes more, until syrupy, then drizzle over pizza and serve.

This was the most unusual pizza I have ever made/tasted. I must admit, I was very hesitant at first about the fried egg but my hubby wanted to try it so I indulged him. I am so glad I did! It was such an unexpected surprise! We are actually making it again tonight for Valentine's dinner. This time we are going to use even more mushrooms (used only one package first time-using 2 this time and we are using 2 fried eggs. We could not locate Cremini mushrooms so we used baby bellas instead which i found to be a great substitute. Give this a try! I don't think you will be disappointed! :

This pizza was amazing and the egg is a must. I first tried Ellie's pizza with the egg and became a believer and so is my husband and my dad and they are very picky and not big fans of things without meat. But this pizza is very good and easy but you should still have some good ol' tomato sauce to dip it in and WOW!
