  1. If you love an egg on a pizza but sometimes get a little dissatisfied with the crusty yolk that normally results from baking it, then frying the eggs separately is a simple solution.

  1. I love this recipe because I am crazy about pizza & eggs…and anchovies! It works as brunch or dinner dish. In no time at all you can whip this up (with a bit of planning) and it costs a fraction of the price of you local brand (bland) named pizza place. PUT TAKE AWAY MENU DOWN! Home made pizza is the best.
