- Bake for 5-8 minutes and remove from oven.
- Using the back of a spoon, lightly make 4 indentations in the center of the pizza not too close to the crust, pushing some of the ingredients to the sides.
- Carefully crack an egg into each depression. Grind pepper on each egg, and top with Parmesan Cheese.
- Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are set, but the yolk is still soft.
- Remove, sprinkle with fresh chives, cut and enjoy!
- For the finishing touch, drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil before cutting.
