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:

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium low in a cast iron or non-stick skillet.

  2. Scatter parmesan over the skillet and cook until beginning to melt, about 2 min.

  3. Crack the eggs, one at a time, and place on the cheese on opposite sides of the pan.

  4. Cover the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3 min.

  5. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the parmesan is golden and the eggs are firm with crispy edges.

  6. 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.
