Parmesan Pesto Eggs
1 SERVING
68 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan*
2 tsp pesto
1 TBS olive oil
fistful of arugula
salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the olive oil over medium low in a cast iron or non-stick skillet.
Scatter parmesan over the skillet and cook until beginning to melt, about 2 min.
Crack the eggs, one at a time, and place on the cheese on opposite sides of the pan.
Cover the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3 min.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until the parmesan is golden and the eggs are firm with crispy edges.
Pile the arugula on a plate and transfer the parmesan eggs. Drizzle with pesto and season with salt and pepper.
* for best results freshly grate parmesan, as pre-shredded varieties have anti-caking agents that inhibit melting.
