60 minutes
Asparagus and egg pizza is an elegant blend of Italian culinary tradition and fresh seasonal ingredients. Asparagus, known for its delicate, slightly nutty flavor, adds sophistication to the dish while eggs contribute richness and tenderness. The handmade thin crust creates a perfect balance between a crispy exterior and a soft center. Tomato sauce, aromatic thyme, and melting mozzarella enhance the harmony of flavors. This dish can be a vibrant element of any table—whether it's a cozy dinner at home or an exquisite meal for guests. The pizza pairs wonderfully with a glass of white wine that highlights the freshness of the asparagus. Its roots lie in Italian cuisine but it easily adapts to various taste preferences, making it a versatile choice for food lovers.
