Recipe by Food & Wine Test Kitchen This delicious grilled pizza is topped with fresh ricotta, runny eggs and spigarello, a leafy green that tastes a lot like broccoli. It's available at farmers' markets and some greengrocers, but Tuscan kale is a fine su

Ingredients

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
6 oz. spigarello, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt
Black pepper
1 lb. store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 c. fresh ricotta cheese
4 lg. eggs
Grated pecorino cheese, for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the spigarello, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the spigarello is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Light a grill. On a lightly floured work surface, stretch the pizza dough out to a 15-inch-long oval and brush with olive oil. Oil the hot grill grate. Drape the dough on the grate oiled side down. Grill over moderately high heat until marks appear on the bottom and the dough is slightly puffed, about 3 minutes. Turn the dough over onto a lightly floured cookie sheet and brush with olive oil. Dollop the ricotta over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Scatter the spigarello on top. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it onto the pizza. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs. Season the pizza with salt and pepper.
Slide the pizza back onto the grill. Close the grill and cook over moderate heat until the crust is browned and the egg whites are firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pizza to a carving board. Top with grated pecorino, drizzle with olive oil, cut into pieces and serve.
