Smoked Salmon Pizza

This amazingly decadent breakfast pizza was invented by Wolfgang Puck at his landmark restaurant Spago but has been served at most of his venues. Here pictured with Soft Scrambled Eggs with Chives.

Smoked Salmon Pizza
Equipment
- pizza stone
Ingredients
- 6 oz pizza dough - See note
- 2½ oz smoked salmon - thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives - chopped
- 1 tablespoon caviar - optional
Chili Garlic Oil
- 2 tablespoon Chili Garlic Oil - See note
Dill Cream
- ¼ cup red onion - thinly sliced, separated, depending on thickness about four slices
- ¼ cup creme fraiche - See note
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill - chopped
- 1 tablespoon red onion - minced
- ¼ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Soft Scrambled Eggs with Chives
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoon half and half
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives - chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer edge a little thicker than the inner circle.
- Brush the dough with the oil and arrange the onions over the pizza.
- Bake until the pizza crust is golden brown, 6–8 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and set on a firm surface.
- Spread the dill cream over the inner circle and arrange the slices of salmon so that they cover the entire pizza.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives around the top.
- Top with a little less than a teaspoon scoop of caviar. (Optional)
Soft Scrambled Eggs with Chives
- Whisk together the eggs with the half & half until slightly frothy. Beat in the chives and salt.
- While the pizza dough is baking, melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium low heat and add the eggs regularly scrambling the cooked egg at the bottom with the still liquid mixture until it is not quite cooked through and still very moist, about 1 to 1½ minutes depending on the heat you are cooking on.
- Finish preparing the pizza, slice and plate with the eggs.
Notes
- You can make your own dough, but I just call my favorite pizzeria and buy a ball of dough from them and pick it up. Most pizzerias will sell it to you and it’s a whole lot easier. The dough can stay in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for up to four weeks. Just bring it back to room temperature gently before
