Ingredients

  • 250 g pizza dough 
  • 150 g raw Italian fennel sausage 
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes 
  • 4 eggs (1 whole egg, 3 yolks) 
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 
  • 35 g Pecorino Romano cheese, grated 
  • 20 g Asiago cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper 
  • Honey 
  • Chopped parsley 

Directions

  1. Preheat frying oil to 350°F.
  2. Roll the pizza dough. Cut into 3 inch discs at 20 grams each.   
  3. Fry the pizza dough for 2 minutes, flipping the dough over after one minute. Remove, drain, and keep warm. 
  4. Remove the sausage meat from the casing.
  5. Brown the sausage meat on medium heat with the chili flakes, while breaking up the meat into crumbles with a spatula. Drain off the fat and reserve. Keep warm. 
  6. Whisk the 3 yolks and 1 egg together with lemon juice and black pepper until it’s nice and smooth.  
  7. Add half of the 2 cheeses with the warm fat from the sausage meat. This will help melt the cheese.

  9. Spoon 20 g of the mixture evenly over each mini Pizza Fritta. Top with a little extra grated Asiago cheese.
