    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

    2

    Roll out the pizza dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker to form a crust.

    3

    Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until lightly crispy. Let it cool slightly.

    4

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in a small amount of grated pecorino cheese and the dried oregano.

    5

    Spread the egg and cream mixture evenly over the pizza dough. Distribute the mozzarella and cooked bacon over the top.

    6

    Sprinkle the remaining pecorino cheese over the pizza and drizzle with a little olive oil.

    7

    Bake the pizza for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    8

    Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
