PESTO EGGS

Steps:

• In the food processor, add Fresh Basil Leaf (2 cup), Pine Nuts (1/4 cup), Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), and Garlic (2 clove). Pulse several times until well chopped.
• Slowly add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup) while the food processor blade is still running at its lowest power.
• Season with Salt (1/4 teaspoon), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/8 teaspoon), 1 tsp of Lemon (1), and Honey (1/2 teaspoon). Pulse a couple of times just to make sure that all the seasonings are well blended. Transfer to a clean container.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low. Once hot, add about 1-2 tbsp of pesto, spread it out, then crack the Egg (1) in and carefully break the white a little bit. Cover with a lid. Let the egg slowly cook with the pesto for 2-3 minutes or until the desired doneness.
• Turn off the heat. Transfer the pesto egg to the top of the Sourdough Bread (1 slice). Optionally sprinkle with Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste). Serve warm.

PESTO EGG PUFF PASTRY SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Beat 6 of the eggs together in a bowl. When the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs, spinach and pesto, along with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the fontina.
• Beat together the remaining egg and a splash of cold water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Set aside.
• Lay out the two sheets of puff pastry and roll them into 9-by-10-inch rectangles. Cut each into six 3-by-5-inch rectangles. Divide the egg mixture among six of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1-centimeter border around the edges. Fold the ham and place it on top of the eggs. Brush the borders with the egg wash and top each with another puff pastry rectangle. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the everything seasoning. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold and enjoy.

PESTO FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Spread the pesto in an even layer in an 8-inch nonstick skillet; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs on top of the pesto and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; continue to cook until the egg whites are just set and the oil has separated from the pesto, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid (or a heatproof plate or a baking sheet). Let sit until the whites are completely set and the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.

PESTO DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Add 1/3 cup of water and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, then stir. Add the pesto, stirring every time you add 2 TBS.
• Evenly distribute the mixed egg yolk and pesto into the center of each egg, then serve.
