  5. Make 2-4 small wells in the cheese and crack 1 egg in each well. Salt and pepper the eggs. It is best to use fresh eggs in this recipe so the whites don't spread too much.

    Ask a question about this step
  6. Place pizza in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you like your pizza. The cheese should be bubbly and the egg whites should be set but the yolks will still be runny.
