Pizza Rossini A Symphony Of Flavours
Why pizza Rossini? Gioacchino Rossini (link) Italian composer 1792/1868 Born in Pesaro, He is known for being one of the greatest opera composers of music history (The Barber of Seville, The Italian Girl in Algiers, The Thieving Magpie, Cinderella, Guglielmo Tell) He was crazy about hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise.
The characteristic of Rossini's Pizza provides for the preparation of a simple pizza margherita with the addition of boiled eggs into thin slices and mayonnaise as topping.

Until a few years ago I thought it was possible to eat only in Pesaro, but I'm really surprised, When, on my last trip to Brazil, in a remote location in the northeast near the Amazon forest in a local pizzeria Brazilian, It was regularly served to some customers, daisy with sliced hard-boiled egg and mayonnaise, indeed there is a light version where you use cheese “catupiry” in place of mayonnaise.

I hope so, but be aware that there's more. From the marriage of Rossini pizza with sausage, It is born “reddish”, but that's another story and we'll talk later, perhaps with the next recipe.
A special greeting goes to all Pesaresi following day my recipes of pizza.
PS: Surely there will be some face disgusted by pairing pizza and mayonnaise, but I recommend to everyone absolutely to taste it. Mayonnaise combined with a pizza with vegetables, or to a pizza with ham is a sheer delight.
