Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• Pinch kosher salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Pico de gallo, for serving
• 4 tablespoons cold butter
• Avocado slices, for serving
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
• Cilantro leaves, for garnishing
• 1/4 small red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half or whole milk
• 6 tablespoons half-and-half or whole milk
• Crumbled Cotija or feta cheese, for serving
• 1 cup 4 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
• 2 ounces of Mexican chorizo, removed from its casing

Directions

• Heat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 9-inch round griddle, skillet, or baking sheet.
• To make the crust, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 

• Cut the cold butter into cubes and then add to the flour. 
• Working quickly with your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dough until the dough is crumbly. 
• Pour in the half and half and stir until everything has come together and a shaggy dough is formed.

• Pat the dough evenly into the griddle or skillet. (If using a skillet, don’t work the dough up the sides—leave it just on the bottom). If using a baking sheet, pat out a 9-inch circle. Poke the dough with a fork about 4 or 5 times, and place the dough into the oven. 
• Cook it uncovered for 5 minutes then remove from the oven.

• Heat a large skillet to medium-low heat. 
• Add Mexican chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
• Leaving on the skillet, remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and place it in a bowl. 
• Whisk in eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper. 
• Add butter to the skillet, and once melted pour in egg mixture. Let them sit for 1 minute then add the chorizo back into the skillet and gently stir until they are loosely set. 
• Taste the eggs with the chorizo and add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it
• Spoon the eggs out of the skillet and spread evenly onto the partially baked pizza crust. 

• Top the eggs evenly with the cheese, then top the cheese evenly with the onions and jalapeños. 
• Return the pizza to the oven and cook uncovered for 8 to 10 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves, pico de gallo, avocado slices, and/or crumbled Cotija cheese.
