Grilled Pita Pizza with Prosciutto, Chanterelles, Arugula and a Fried Egg

Author - Serena Wolf
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yields: 2 pizzas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chanterelle mushrooms cleaned and sliced (Yes you may use different/cheaper mushrooms if you must.)
  • teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 slices prosciutto di Parma
  • 2 whole wheat pitas The pocket-less version works best.
  • ½ cup marinara sauce I like to use a spicy marinara sauce, but you do you.
  • ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 2 tablespoons shaved Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Wash the chanterelles very well, they tend to be pretty dirty. Pat the mushrooms dry and slice. Heat 1½ teaspoons of olive oil in a medium pan. When hot add the chanterelles and minced garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until lightly brown. Remove from the heat and briefly set aside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush both sides of each pita with olive oil and place them on the grill. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear. (If you do not have a grill/grill pan, don’t panic. You can lightly brown the pitas in a cast iron skillet or whatever pan you happen to own, okay?)
  • While the pitas are grilling, tear the prosciutto into roughly 2-inch pieces.
  • Place the grilled pitas onto a baking sheet. Spread each pita with ¼ cup marinara sauce and sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese.Divide the chanterelles and prosciutto between the to pizzas. Transfer the pizzas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto has crisped at the edges.
  • While the pizzas are in the oven, fry your eggs. Heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, carefully crack each egg into the pan. Let the eggs cook for 3-4 minutes until the white are set, but the yolk is still runny. (If you don’t like runny eggs, cook them longer. Duh.)
  • Remove your pizzas from the oven and top each with ½ cup baby arugula and a fried egg. Sprinkle with shaved Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes, and serve immediately.
