Want to update your breakfast sandwich? This pizza, from Top Chef's Mike Isabella's new restaurant Graffiato, is a fun new way to feed the morning crowd.

Ingredients

8 slices of thick-cut bacon
4-6 eggs
2 cups Cheddar cheese
6 leeks
1 tsp. salt

Directions

Total time: About 30 minutes

Chop bacon and cook in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and thinly slice leeks, white and light green parts only. Add to bacon and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add salt, remove from heat, and cool slightly. Spread bacon mixture evenly on dough and top with grated Cheddar cheese. Bake 10 minutes at 450°, then remove from oven and use a spoon to make little "nests" in bacon mixture; crack eggs into nests. Return to oven and bake until crust is golden brown, egg whites are set, and yolks are slightly runny, 5 to 7 minutes more.
