Ingredients
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and beat them well with a whisk or fork.
- Pour the eggs into a pan, add butter and turn the heat on.
- Keep on low heat while stirring constantly. Do not stop stirring as the eggs may get dry and lose the creamy texture. Wait until curds begin to form. Add the pesto and mix in well. Cook until eggs have reached desired doneness but they are still creamy, about 5-7 minutes total.
- Take off the heat, spoon sour cream in and mix well with the eggs.
- This will help the eggs cool down and stop cooking while keeping the creamy texture.
- Place on a serving plate and serve. Enjoy!
