Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Unfold PUFF PASTRY. Lay it on parchment paper on a flat surface. Gently roll to create and even surface, if needed.
Score a ½-inch border around the dough with a paring knife. Do not cut through the dough. Use a fork to prick the entire surface of the pastry inside the border.
Make an egg wash by whisking together 1 EGG and 1 tablespoon WATER. Brush the puff pastry surface with this mixture.
Transfer the dough with parchment to a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle CHEESE, BACON, ASPARAGUS, SALT, and PEPPER over the partially baked puff pastry.
Distribute EGGS over the surface without overlapping.
Bake for 8-12 minutes to reach the desired yolk texture (oven times may vary).8 minutes for runny yolks10 minutes for creamy yolks12 minutes for hard yolks
Transfer puff pastry to a cutting board and rest for a few minutes.
Cut into slices and serve warm.
(optional) Make Dijon cream sauce by whisking together DIJON MUSTARD and MILK. Drizzle over the pizza and enjoy!
Notes
Puff pastry must be thawed completely before use. Thaw at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Scoring the puff pastry with a knife promotes a loftier rise, creating an elevated, puffy border around the pizza toppings.
Pricking puff pastry with a fork, also called docking, ensures crispiness by releasing steam during baking and helps prevent uneven puffy areas.
Applying an egg wash to puff pastry is optional but recommended as it imparts a beautiful golden sheen to the surface.
Crack each raw egg into a separate bowl, then onto the pizza, to control placement. This helps avoid any unwanted broken yolks on the pizza.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Be careful not to overload the puff pastry as it is delicate.
