Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup salsa verde (preferably featuring Hatch chilis)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it preheats to ensure it gets hot.

    Prepare the Dough: For store-bought pizza dough, lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to your desired thickness. If you're making homemade dough, follow your specific recipe instructions. Once rolled out, transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or onto a pizza peel that is dusted with flour for easy oven transfer.

      Spread the Salsa Verde: Using a spoon or spatula, spread the salsa verde evenly across the surface of the pizza dough, leaving about an inch around the edges to form a crust.

        Layer the Cheeses: First, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the salsa verde layer, then add dollops of the ricotta cheese scattered around the pizza.

          Add the Vegetables: Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and corn kernels over the cheese mixture to create a colorful veggie layer.

            Prepare the Eggs: In a small bowl, crack the two large eggs and beat them gently with a fork. Make small wells in the vegetable layer of the pizza and carefully pour the beaten eggs into these wells, being cautious not to let them overflow.

              Season the Pizza: Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the pizza. Sprinkle garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper over the entire pizza for added flavor.

                Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone) and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye out for golden brown edges and ensure the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

                  Garnish and Serve: After removing the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and, if you like a bit of spice, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes. Cut into slices and serve hot for a delightful breakfast or brunch!

                      Presentation Tips: For an eye-catching presentation, serve the pizza on a wooden cutting board or a colorful plate. Optionally, place a few whole cilantro leaves on top for a pop of color.
