Ingredients
- Pizza Base: 1 prepared pizza dough (about 300 g), 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Garlic Herb Sauce: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped), 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon fresh basil (chopped), ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetables: ½ cup baby spinach (chopped), ½ red bell pepper (thinly sliced), ½ yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced), ½ small red onion (thinly sliced), 100 g cherry tomatoes (halved), ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- Cheese & Eggs: 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- Shape the Dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 30 cm (12-inch) circle. Brush with olive oil.
- Make the Garlic Herb Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in parsley, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the garlic herb sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with spinach, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Scatter the feta cheese on top.
- Add Eggs:
- Create two shallow wells among the toppings and carefully crack an egg into each.
- Bake:
- Transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden, cheese is melted, and egg whites are set.
- Serve:
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve immediately.
