How to make?

Start by preheating the oven. Meanwhile, prepare the pizza bases that you have purchased. Place them on a baking sheet and start by spreading the sauce. The spinach should be cooked before using them on the pizza. Place them in a bowl which is microwavable. Cover with cling film and microwave on high heat for about two minutes. Drain the spinach and spread out on the pizza base. Take out the mushrooms and dice them. Add them over the top of the spinach. Add in seasoning like salt and pepper. Put in the pizza pieces and bake for about ten minutes. After you have baked initially, crack an egg on top of each pizza base. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for about six or eight minutes. This will set the eggs and get your Florentine pizzas ready.
