Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a pizza stone or baking pan inside while the oven heats.

Shape the Pizza Dough

  • Place pizza dough onto a floured surface. Roll gently into a large round shape with even thickness throughout.

Add Olive Oil

  • Brush olive oil across the dough surface lightly. This helps create a golden and crispy pizza crust while baking.

Spread the Pizza Sauce

  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough carefully. Leave a small border around the edges for the crust.

Add the Cheese

  • Place mozzarella slices evenly across the sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top for extra rich cheesy flavor.

Bake the Pizza

  • Transfer the pizza carefully onto the hot pizza stone. Bake for about ten minutes until crust becomes golden brown.

Fry the Eggs

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs carefully into the pan and fry until whites become fully set.

Add Garlic and Basil

  • Remove pizza from the oven carefully. Sprinkle minced garlic and fresh basil leaves evenly over the hot pizza surface.

Place the Fried Eggs

  • Place fried eggs gently on top of the pizza. Season with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired.

Slice and Serve

  • Slice the pizza carefully while warm. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy egg yolk with every cheesy bite.

Notes

  • Use homemade pizza dough for best texture.
  • Fresh mozzarella melts better than shredded cheese.
  • Add cherry tomatoes for extra freshness.
  • Use a pizza stone for crispier crust.
  • Cook eggs sunny-side up for runny yolks.
  • Add arugula for peppery flavor.
  • Drizzle hot honey for sweet heat.
  • Use whole wheat dough for healthier pizza.
  • Add prosciutto for salty richness.
  • Sprinkle extra parmesan before serving.
