While I prescribe to the theory that there is no shame in supplanting Lucky Charms with leftovers, I’d advocate any attempt to legitimize the swap. Such was the inspiration for my newest exploit: Allegros resurrected.

What you need: A leftover slice (stay away from Buffalo chicken) An egg S & P

Set the oven to 350°. Put the leftover pizza on a baking sheet. Crack the egg and pour slowly on top, careful not to let the whites run off. Bake 10-12 minutes. If you’re creative, set toppings down before dropping the egg — chives, bacon, crumbled cheese, whatever. It’s your adventure, not mine.

Season with salt and pepper.
