MMMMMMMMMM! This reminds me of when I worked at a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria. The chef called the one with the egg in the middle “Occhio di Bue,” which means bull’s eye. She made another she called “Vesuvio” where center of the pizza was a bit thicker so that the egg was raised a little. When she took it out of the oven she popped the yoke and it spilled down, resembling a volcano.

I think my favorite pizza (other than the pizza Margherita, of course) is with parmesan, arugula and prosciutto. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Too bad I already ate!

Yes, I have doubled and tripled this recipe many times, with great success. I even quadrupled it once to make mini pizzas for a party, which were a big hit.

I also use the Bread Bible’s Tomato sauce recipe – you can find it here http://www.culinate.com/books/collections/all_books/The+Bread+Bible/Pizza+Tomato+Sauce. It’s very simple – just tomatoes and herbs, sugar, salt, and pepper. To make cheese pizza, just add the sauce and mozzarella cheese of your choice to the dough in place of the eggs/spinach/goat cheese and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling! Whoila! Cheese pizza.

Glad you like it! Omelets and souffles are also a good way to get rid of extra eggs. As are egg sandwiches (mmmmm . . . )

This is just what I needed. I cannot seem to buy eggs in a 6-pack anymore so now I have a dozen eggs and I need stuff to cook before they go bad. This looks delicious!

I have never underestimated the value of a well placed poached egg; but I never considered putting one (or two) on a pizza… until now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well you can do that too! Or better yet, if I host the next book club movie then I can make it for you!

I bet eggs on cheese pizza would be good too. Mmmm . . .
