Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by making your pizza dough early, allowing it to ferment for about 8 hours at room temperature.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Italian sausage until browned and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced yellow onions and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the sausage and onions are cooking, grate your fontina and pecorino Romano cheeses.
  5. Preheat your oven to a blistering 500°F (260°C). Roll out your prepared pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  6. Carefully crack the eggs into the wells you created earlier, and slide your assembled sausage breakfast pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  7. Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for a couple of minutes for easier slicing.
