Cooking Directions
To make fresh ricotta, add the milk and to a large pot. Place over medium high heat and bring up to a simmer (between 165 and 185 degrees F).
Remove from heat and add your vinegar or lemon juice and salt. Off the heat, stir gently a few times and then let sit for 5 minutes with no movement.
Carefully pour mixture through a strainer lined with a few layers of cheese cloth or clean paper towel. Cover with a clean towel and refrigerate, allow the cheese to drain until it reaches desired texture (at least an hour for a firm texture). Store the ricotta in a jar and store refrigerated up to days.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Divide the dough into 2 and roll out each ball into a flat circle. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with pesto, followed by ricotta and veggies. Toss in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden brown and mostly cooked through.
Remove, crack eggs on top and put back in the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the egg white is cooked through and the crust is browned.
Let rest for 5 minutes, slice and top with arugula.

Culinary Tips
Ricotta, pesto and pizza dough can be made a day in advance, for quick assembly.
Get creative with the toppings, try cherry tomatoes, spring onions, meat etc.
If you don't like eggs, you can use other lean sources of protein like cooked chicken or canned tuna.
Try using goat milk instead of cows for a delicious and slightly tangy ricotta.
