Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with baking spray.

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with the pizza pan inside to heat up.

On a floured countertop, stretch the pre-made pizza dough to fit the 12-inch pizza pan.

Transfer the stretched dough to the hot pizza pan, ensuring it fills the edges.

Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil on the pizza dough, reserving some for later.

Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, right up to the edge of the crust.

Sprinkle 1.5 cups of grated cheese over the sauce, covering it evenly.

Add 1/2 cup of caramelized olives, tearing them up or chopping them as desired.

Scatter 1/2 cup of chopped prosciutto over the pizza (optional).

Crack 4 large eggs onto the pizza, placing them in the four quadrants without breaking the yolks.

Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is browned and the eggs are set.

Check the pizza; the eggs should be slightly jiggly if you prefer them runny.

Remove the pizza from the oven and add 1/2 cup of fresh arugula on top, arranging it gently.

Drizzle the reserved olive oil over the arugula before serving.
