Rosemary Leicht of Bethel, Ohio, writes: "I've been a finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-Off three times, so I'm something of an expert at cooking with prepared doughs and bread mixes. Even though these items are simple to use, many people don't venture beyond the package directions. For each contest, I experimented with dozens of recipes, and some of my favorites have been breakfast dishes and desserts. Nowadays I don't enter as many competitions as I used to, but my family still looks forward to my latest creations."

A quick breakfast using prepared dough.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
4 thin ham slices
2 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces), divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter heavy large baking sheet; sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Roll out dough to 12-inch square; cut into 4 squares. Transfer squares to prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crusty, about 20 minutes.

    Step 2

    Top each dough square with 1 ham slice. Divide 1 1/2 cups cheese among dough squares. Return pizzas to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Open 1 egg at a time into pan. Fry, without turning eggs over, until whites are firm but yolks are still tender.

    Step 4

    Top each pizza with fried egg. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over eggs. Transfer to plates and serve.
