Measurements (Serves 4)

• 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
• 5-6 ounces fresh baby spinach
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for garnish
• 4 large eggs
• Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

1. Dough It Right

Preheat your oven to 500°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal. Think of it as giving your dough a sandy beach to lie on – comfy and crispy! Cut your pizza dough into four equal pieces and stretch them into 6- to 7-inch circles. Plop those beauties onto the baking sheets.

2. Spinach Sizzle

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the spinach and let it wilt down like it's relaxing in a hot tub – just 1-2 minutes will do. Mix that spinach with Parmesan, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. It’s the kind of creamy goodness dreams are made of.

3. Layer It Up

Spread the spinach mixture over each dough circle, but leave a little room at the edges for a perfect crust. Bake on the lower oven rack for 5 minutes. You’re halfway to breakfast heaven!

4. Crack It and Bake

Take the pizzas out and crack an egg right in the middle of each one. If you want a picture-perfect egg, make a little dent in the spinach first. Slide those pizzas back into the oven for 6-10 minutes, depending on whether you like your yolks runny or set. (Runny yolks = extra lusciousness!)

5. Garnish and Serve

Drizzle a little more olive oil on top, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and pepper, and voilà – breakfast pizzas that look straight out of a food magazine. Serve immediately, preferably with a big grin.
