Guanciale Béchamel Runny Egg Pizza

Posted on by November 19, 2014

Guanciale Béchamel Runny Egg Pizza is my knockoff of the Uova Pizza da Barbuzzo Restaurant in Philadelphia. Barbuzzo is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly, and the Uova Pizza is one of my favorite pizzas. They don’t make it year ‘round though; come springtime, quite seasonably reasonably, Brussels leaves give way to shave asparagus, much to my consternation. If you aren’t lucky enough to live in Philly, where you can go out for this Guanciale Béchamel Runny Egg Pizza, now you can make it at home so you’ll know what you’re missing, and why you need to come visit Philly ASAP. And you should absolutely let me know how close my Guanciale Béchamel Runny Egg Pizza is to the original. Of course, I don’t have a wood fire pizza oven, (dreams, right?) but with a pizza stone and a very hot oven you can get kind of close.

And I love them. You might recall just how far I’ll go for artichokes if you read my post on artichoke soup. I’m a little crazy about them. I rarely cook with them, because of how much Marc hates them. Pizza is the perfect opportunity to enjoy them, since I can partition off my section if we’re dining alone, or just make him a different pizza if we’ve got a group. When making something Marc doesn’t like, I tend to pile on other ingredients he tolerates but doesn’t love, like mushrooms and truffle honey. This pizza started out as me enjoying a list of ingredients I usually hold back on for Marc. We both broke into a fit of laughter when we realized that the end result of my anti-Marc experiment created a superfood of evil we’ve now titled Marc’s nemesis pizza. For everyone else, it might just … Continue reading →
