Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough
Sauce and Cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara or white sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Toppings
- 4 eggs
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking a crispy pizza crust and perfectly cooking the eggs.
- Prepare the Dough. Roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Add Sauce and Cheese. Evenly spread 1/2 cup of marinara or white sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.
- Add the Eggs. Carefully crack four eggs over the pizza, spacing them evenly across the surface so they cook uniformly.
- Bake the Pizza. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny to your preference.
- Season and Serve. Remove the pizza from the oven and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Slice into four portions and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the pizza while baking to avoid overcooking the eggs; the yolks should stay runny for optimal taste and texture.
- You can substitute marinara with a white sauce to change the flavor profile according to your preference.
- For a crispier crust, consider pre-baking the dough for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
