Method

  1. To prepare the pizza, preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan 180C. Put the pizza base on a baking sheet and spread with the sauce.
  2. To cook the spinach, put it in a microwavable bowl, cover with cling film and pierce it a couple of times. Put in the microwave on High (850W) for 2 minutes until wilted (or cook in a covered pan for 2-3 minutes). Drain and spread the spinach over the pizza base, then get the mushrooms out of the jar with a fork and scatter them over the top. Season and sprinkle with half the parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Make four dips in the spinach with the back of a spoon, and crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for a further 6- 8 minutes, until the eggs are just set.

    A fiorentina is my favourite pizza so I do make it quite a lot. My version of it tends to omit the mushrooms and add chopped black olives. I also tend to wilt the spinach in some garlic butter before adding to the pizza which gives a great flavour and I find mozzarella cheese works best. And if you really want to make you life simple, buy a good quality margherita pizza and then just add the rest of the toppings - perfect for a quick week night supper.

    I think this pizza is gorgeous. My whole family loves it. I don't use mushrooms however and always make my own pizza base and (simple) tomato sauce from scratch. I replace the parmesan with dutch hard cheese since I really don't like the taste om parmesan.
