Cooking Tips

• You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own from scratch.
• Feel free to add additional toppings such as sliced tomatoes, red onions, or roasted red peppers.
• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
• If you prefer a fully cooked egg, you can fry it separately and place it on top of the pizza after baking.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• This pizza is best served fresh and hot from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
