    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Prepare a thick-walled baking sheet or pizza pan.

    2

    Place the thick crust pizza dough on the baking sheet and shape it to an even thickness. Spread generously with tomato sauce.

    3

    Sprinkle the tomato sauce with grated mozzarella, then sprinkle with oregano and arrange the thinly sliced red onion on top.

    4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    5

    While the pizza is baking, cook four fried eggs in a skillet, being careful to keep the yolks intact.

    6

    Remove the pizza from the oven and carefully place the freshly cooked fried eggs on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

    7

    Immediately slice and serve, ensuring the egg yolks are still runny.
