Categories     breakfast, quick, main course

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 tablespoon butter
3 large eggs
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 heaping tablespoon pesto, more to taste
3 tablespoons fresh ricotta cheese, broken up into clump

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a medium-size skillet, preferably well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick.
  • Beat eggs with salt, pepper and, if using, Parmesan cheese. Pour eggs into pan, swirl and turn heat to low. Using a heat-proof rubber spatula, stir eggs constantly until very loosely set and slightly runnier than you like them.
  • Remove pan from heat and drizzle pesto on eggs. Off heat, give eggs one more gentle stir -- enough to finish cooking them and to distribute pesto in dark green streaks. Scatter ricotta on eggs and drizzle with more pesto if desired. Serve at once.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

These eggs were so good! I've never had scrambled eggs with pesto before, but I'm definitely a fan now.

I'm allergic to basil, so I used a pesto made with arugula instead. It was just as delicious as the original recipe.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of pesto and added some chopped spinach. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my eggs turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Not bad, but not amazing either. The eggs were a bit bland and the pesto was a little too oily. I think I'll stick to my usual scrambled egg recipe.

This was a quick and easy breakfast that was also really tasty. I used store-bought pesto and ricotta, but it still turned out great. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this for breakfast this morning and it was a real treat. The eggs were so creamy and flavorful and the pesto and ricotta were the perfect complement. I also added some chopped fresh tomatoes, which really brightened up the dish.
