Ingredients
Directions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs directly into the pan, then scramble them slowly - combining the yolks and whites slowly so there is still some variation between the two. A heat resistant silicone spatula works best.
- About one minute into the cooking, add the pesto to the pan and continue to scramble the eggs, working the pesto in gently.
- Once the eggs are no longer runny, they are done.
- Serve with extra pesto.
