  4. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) while onions cook.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Roll out dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, layer with cheese, cooked sausage, and caramelized onions, creating wells for the eggs.

  7. Bake Pizza: Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and egg whites are set.
  8. Finish & Serve: Remove from oven, drizzle with hot sauce if desired, slice, and serve while hot.
