Ingredients

  • One 11-ounce package refrigerated pizza crust

  • Cooking spray

  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shaved fresh Romano cheese, divided

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 6 large eggs

  • One 5-ounce package baby arugula

  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°.

  • Unroll the pizza dough on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray; place in the preheating oven. Bake for 7 minutes as the oven heats.

  • Combine the ricotta and 1/4 cup of the Romano.

  • Remove the pan from the oven. Quickly spread the cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Return the pan to the oven, and bake for 5 minutes.

  • While the pizza bakes, add water to a large skillet, filling it two-thirds full; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer. Add the vinegar. Break each egg into a custard cup, and pour gently into pan. Cook 3 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness. Carefully remove the eggs from the pan using a slotted spoon.

  • Combine the arugula, the remaining 1/4 cup of Romano cheese, and the next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl; toss well.

  • Top the pizza with the arugula mixture and eggs; sprinkle with pepper. Cut into 6 pieces.
