Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 thin, crispy pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
Sauce
- 1 cup ranchero sauce (tangy tomato sauce with onions, garlic, jalapeños)
Cheese and Beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and patted dry
Eggs
- 2–3 fresh eggs (cooked sunny-side-up or over-easy)
Garnishes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
- Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
- Sauteed bell peppers (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or as directed by your crust package. Roll out the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone and brush lightly with olive oil for a golden, crispy texture.
- Spread Ranchero Sauce: Generously spread ranchero sauce evenly over the entire pizza crust to ensure every bite is infused with the zesty flavor.
- Add Cheese and Beans: Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses liberally over the sauce, then evenly distribute the drained black beans on top to add hearty texture and protein.
- Bake Until Cheese Melts: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust turns crisp and golden.
- Cook and Add the Eggs: While the pizza bakes, cook fresh eggs sunny-side-up in a non-stick skillet, keeping yolks runny for creamy texture. After baking, carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the pizza.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with slices of avocado, fresh cilantro, optional diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, red onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs to maintain shape and prevent spreading when cooking sunny-side-up.
- Preheat your oven thoroughly to ensure a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Drain and pat dry canned black beans to avoid soggy crust.
- Place cheese under beans to help them stick and meld flavors during baking.
- Add cooked eggs after baking to keep yolks runny and creamy.
