Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and zucchini, and cook until softened, about six minutes. Preheat oven to 400F.
- Place pitas on a baking sheet. Spread an equal amount of the refried beans over pitas and top with arugula, mozzarella cheese, cooked zucchini and onion, and tomatoes. Form a well in the centre of the toppings of each pizza and crack an egg into each, being careful not to break yolks.
- Cook in oven about 15 to 25 minutes, until eggs are set as firmly as desired. Garnish with additional arugula and black pepper.
