How to Make Pesto Rippled Scrambled Eggs

  1. Add 2 cloves garlic and 1/4 cup pine nuts to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until well blended.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until well combined.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
  5. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir the eggs, allowing them to set in soft clumps of white and yellow. Avoid over-stirring.
  6. Before the eggs are fully cooked, gently fold in 2 tablespoons of the prepared pesto.
  7. Serve immediately on toasted bread or bagels. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
