1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves, plus more for serving
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound store-bought pizza dough
2 tablespoons canola oils, plus more for brushing
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
pinch of sugar
1/2 pound double-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into lardons (short thick matchsticks)
2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
1 fresno chile pepper, finely diced
6 large eggs
2 ounces soft goat cheese, cut into small pieces and frozen for 5 minutes
Directions:
Whisk together the creme fraiche, parsley, chives and tarragon in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece into a very thin 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Brush with canola oil, place on baking sheets and bake until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sugar and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
Divide the creme fraiche between the pizzas, spreading it out. Divide the cheddar on top and then add the onion and bacon. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the Fresno chile and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Whisk the eggs in a bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until soft curds form. Add the goat cheese.
Divide the scrambled eggs between the two pizzas and garnish with more herbs.
