RICHMOND, Va. - Our next guest is a fan favorite who comes to visit us at least once a year. Our good friend Mary Rappaport, Consumer Affairs Director of Virginia Egg Council, stopped by to show us how to make Ninja Egg Pizza.

Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (13.8 oz.)*
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 cups fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄4 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (or Feta or Parmesan) 1⁄2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1⁄4 tsp. black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup arugula
- 1 Tbsp. chives, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (375° if using Crescent dough).
- Spray a 15x10” baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stretch dough to fill baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes to set dough. Remove from oven and let cool about 5 minutes.
- Brush crust with olive oil, then sprinkle on garlic. Add cheeses and mushrooms.
- Make 6 shallow wells in the crust (spaced out evenly) with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each. Season with black pepper and bake for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown, egg whites are set, and yolks thickened.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2 minutes and top with arugula and chives. Cut into 6 portions and serve. Leftovers may be refrigerated and micro‐heated the next day.
