Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Drizzle olive oil over the dough and spread evenly.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the surface; crack eggs on top (one per serving) or whisk for scrambled eggs.
