Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breakfast pizza warm with sliced avocado, fresh tomatoes, hot sauce, or a simple green salad. Fresh fruit provides a lighter accompaniment for brunch. Cut the pizza into smaller pieces when serving it as part of a larger breakfast buffet.Recipe Notes
Create sufficiently deep wells in the cheese so the eggs remain in position. Crack each egg into a small bowl before transferring it to the pizza if you want more control. The egg whites must be completely set before the pizza is served.Variations
Add sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, spring onions, jalapeños, or fresh herbs. Replace the spinach with rocket, or use cheddar, goat cheese, or Monterey Jack instead of mozzarella. Cooked bacon, ham, or breakfast sausage can be added for a non-vegetarian version.Storage
This pizza is best served immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat individual portions in a hot oven or air fryer until thoroughly heated. Reheated egg yolks will be firmer than when freshly baked.Wine Advice
A chilled Prosecco provides a crisp contrast to the melted cheese and eggs. For a non-sparkling option, choose a fresh Sauvignon Blanc with enough acidity to balance the rich toppings.Nutrition values
