Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 medium North Carolina sweetpotatoes about 2 pounds, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • all-purpose flour for rolling out dough
  • 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough at room temperature divided into four equal portions (4 ounces each)
  • 1 cup freshly shredded Gouda cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced chives

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Place 1 pound sweetpotatoes directly on rack and bake until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes. Peel and puree flesh until smooth; reserve 1 cup.
  • Increase oven heat to 450 F. Peel remaining sweetpotatoes and dice into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss 2 cups diced sweetpotatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and salt and pepper, to taste; place in even layer on baking sheet. Roast until softened but not crisp, 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove from oven.
  • Lightly flour clean, flat work surface. Roll each ball of dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness (about 7 inches diameter).
  • With remaining oil, lightly coat rimless baking sheet. Transfer rolled out dough to baking sheet.
  • Spread pureed sweetpotato over surface of each dough round, about 1/4 cup each, leaving about 1/2-inch border. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded Gouda. Add 1/2 cup roasted sweetpotato cubes, leaving open space in center of pizzas.
  • Carefully crack one egg into center of each pizza; bake 15 minutes until crusts are golden brown on bottom, cheese is melted and egg whites are fully set. Carefully remove pizzas from oven.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top each pizza with 1 tablespoon diced chives.
