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 was a waste of time and ingredients. The eggs were overcooked and the pesto was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggs turned out really rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, but the eggs just didn't cook properly. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients involved, and the end result wasn't worth the effort. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone unless they are an experienced cook.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The eggs were cooked well, but the pesto and ricotta didn't add much flavor. I would recommend adding some additional seasonings to the eggs and pesto before cooking.
