For a single serving:
1 link of hot Italian turkey sausage
1
8-inch pita oat-bran or whole wheat pita bread
2-3 Tbsp shredded
mozzarella cheese
2 spears asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch
lengths
A pinch of dried thyme leaf or fresh thyme leaves
2 Tbsp
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Fresh ground black pepper
1
large egg
Preheat oven to 425°F.
On the stove top, heat a small nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casing into the frying pan (discard the casing). Cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the meat is lightly browned all over. Remove from the pan.
Set the pita bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese, then the sausage, asparagus and thyme. Top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, then a bit of black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven (do not turn the oven off).
Without breaking the yolk, carefully crack the egg into a small bowl. Then slide the egg onto the center of the pizza. Return the pizza to the oven and cook for 10 minutes, or until the egg white is just set and the yolk is still runny. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with more pepper, and serve hot.
