Pizza Fiorentina

*Pizza Fiorentina*
Serves 1

A hearty pizza supper for one, but if you are feeling generous, break two eggs on top instead of one and share it with your partner.

one 9 inch ready made pizza base (or make and bake your own)
5 TBS tomato passata (North American tomato sauce)
2 ounces spinach, cooked and drained (1 1/2 cups packed leaves)
3 wafer thin slices of deli ham, halved
2 ounces mozzarella cheese diced (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (2 1/2 TBS)
chili oil to drizzle (to taste)
1 to 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced (to taste)
1/2 tsp oregano flakes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large free range egg

Preheat the oven to 220*C/425*F/gas mark 7.  Cover the pizza base with passata and then top with the spinach and ham, scattering it over top.  Sprinkle over the mozzarella chunks along with the grated Parmesan cheese, the chili oil, garlic and oregano flakes.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Bake for 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and make a well in the centre of the pizza.  Break in the egg.  Return to the oven and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes, until the egg is cooked through.  If desired drizzle with some additional chili oil or basil oil and serve.
