Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh pizza dough
  • all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest (plus more for serving, if desired)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving, if desired)
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cups packed baby arugula

Instructions

  1. Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Divide dough into 4 pieces.

  2. Place a pizza stone or large baking sheet in oven; preheat to 450°F. Leave the stone in oven as it preheats.

  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 6 to 7-inch circle. Pierce liberally with the tines of a fork.

  4. Carefully arrange 2 dough circles on the hot pizza stone. Bake at 450°F for 3 minutes. Remove from oven, and flip so that the cooked side is facing up. Set aside. Repeat with remaining 2 dough circles

  5. Stir together ricotta cheese and zest in a medium bowl. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly among the cooked sides of dough circles; sprinkle evenly with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top each dough circle with 1 egg and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan.

  6. Working in 2 batches, return topped dough circles to the hot pizza stone. Bake at 450°F until egg whites are set and yolks are still a little runny, about 6 to 10 minutes.

  7. Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the arugula so that the leaves are evenly coated.

  8. Top each cooked pizza with about 1 cup dressed arugula. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of additional grated Parmesan over each along with a bit of lemon zest. Serve immediately.
