Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 ball of pizza dough 12–14 inch
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing crust

Sauce (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup sour cream or crema base layer

Toppings:

  • 3/4 cup cooked chorizo crumbled
  • 1 cup Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced and roasted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place pizza stone inside if using.
  • Roast potatoes: Toss potato slices in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 10–12 minutes or until golden and soft.
  • Cook chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook crumbled chorizo for 5–7 minutes. Drain excess oil.
  • Shape the dough: Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Place on parchment or a pizza peel.

Assembly:

  • Base layer: (Optional) Spread a thin layer of sour cream or crema.
  • Add cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella and Monterey Jack evenly.
  • Add toppings: Layer roasted potatoes and cooked chorizo.
  • Crack eggs: Gently crack 2–3 eggs over the pizza. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake: Transfer to oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and eggs are just set.
  • Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro and a pinch more paprika.

Notes

  • For runnier yolks, add eggs halfway through baking.
  • Sub regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a twist.
  • Drizzle with hot sauce or avocado crema for an extra kick.
  • You can use pre-cooked pizza crust for a quicker version.
