Chili and Garlic Oil

Yields about 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

1 whole head garlic,

cloves separated and peeled)

2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

METHOD

1 In a small saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and olive oil and bring

to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer until the garlic begins to

turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Do not let the garlic get too brown or

the oil will have a bitter taste.)

2 Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add the red

pepper flakes and infuse for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to

blend. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.

Brunch Pizza (cont'd.)

Preparing the Pizza:

4 Preheat the lower pizza oven to 400°F.

5 On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to an

8-inch round. Place the dough on a pizza peel that has been dusted

with flour or semolina (you can also place on a cookie sheet). Lightly

brush the surface of the dough with the Chili and Garlic oil. Once the

oven is preheated, place the pizza on the rack and bake until the

bottom begins to turn golden brown, but the pizza is not cooked

through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

6 In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Place a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the

pan is hot add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is

melted. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the

eggs are slightly set, but still fairly undercooked, about 4 minutes.

The eggs will cook further in the oven so it is important not to

overcook them. Remove from the heat and remove from the pan to

stop the cooking.

7 Spread the eggs on the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border

around the edges. Scatter the mozzarella cheese and Fontina cheese

evenly over the eggs. Return to the oven and bake just until the

cheese melts and is bubbly, about 5 minutes.

8 Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a firm surface.

Arrange the smoked salmon slices over the surface of the pizza,

covering completely. Garnish with the chopped chives and

salmon eggs.
