# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Position a pizza stone or baking sheet on the middle rack to heat.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush the surface evenly with olive oil.
03 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in chopped parsley, thyme, basil, salt, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat.
04 - Spread the garlic herb sauce evenly across the rolled dough.
05 - Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese in an even layer over the sauce.
06 - Arrange the spinach, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced mushrooms over the cheese. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
07 - Create two shallow wells amongst the toppings. Carefully crack one egg into each well.
08 - Transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the crust is golden, cheese is fully melted, and the egg whites are set.
09 - Remove pizza from oven. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving immediately.
