Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough
Sauce and Cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 2–3 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: bacon, spinach, mushrooms, parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the crust and cook the eggs evenly.
- Prepare Dough. Roll out the pizza dough onto a pizza pan or pizza stone to your desired thickness, creating a base for your toppings.
- Add Sauce. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, covering the surface but leaving a border for the crust.
- Apply Cheese. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, ensuring good coverage for melty, gooey topping.
- Make Wells and Add Eggs. Carefully create small wells in the cheese layer and crack the eggs into these indentations, spacing them evenly.
- Season Eggs. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Bake Pizza. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg whites are fully set while yolks remain slightly runny.
- Slice and Serve. Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it into portions, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the pizza while baking to ensure the egg yolks stay runny if desired.
- For softer egg yolks, add the eggs halfway through the baking time instead of at the start.
- Finish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley to add extra flavor and freshness.
