Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • Pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)

Creamed Spinach

  • 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream or milk
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamed Spinach: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, then simmer until thickened to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer the dough carefully onto a baking sheet or pizza stone for even cooking.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the creamed spinach mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Crack the whole eggs gently over the pizza, spacing them evenly so each slice will have some egg.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the egg whites are set while the yolks remain slightly runny. Keep a close watch to avoid overcooking the eggs.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil. Add freshly cracked black pepper on top. Slice and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for better shape retention and perfect runny yolks.
  • Avoid overloading the pizza with creamed spinach or cheese to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispy bottom crust and even heat distribution.
  • For firmer yolks, add eggs halfway through baking; for runnier yolks, add eggs at the start.
  • Season the creamed spinach well to enhance its savory depth.
