Tomato, mozzarella, ham and a fried egg in the center

Named after the German chancellor — supposedly because he loved eggs — it's a pizzeria menu classic all over Italy: tomato, mozzarella, ham and an egg cracked into the center halfway through baking, so the white sets and the yolk stays runny. The egg is cracked onto the pizza once it's already in the oven, not before.

Rico's note: The egg goes in at 4 minutes, not at the start. That way the yolk stays runny for dipping the crust.
