Morning Eggs & Pesto

So today's recipe is a 2 parter... but fear NOT! It's still simple to make and delicious to eat... The first part is making a feta pesto and the second part is all about combining it and creating an egg-ceptional meal (too cheesy? yes, apologies for the lameness...)

My Eggy Twist

Part 1: Feta Pesto

Ingredients

4 cloves Garlic

3 Tablespoons pine nuts (toasted prior to use, just put in small saucepan without oil and cook on medium heat until you can smell aroma of pine nuts and they're "toasted"!)

4 Handfuls fresh basil (rough chopped)

1/3 + 1 tablespoon Cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil

3 Tablespoons crumbled fresh feta cheese

Directions

1. In the food processor, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, pine nuts and garlic cloves until combined

2. Add basil, a little at a time, simultaneously drizzling in olive oil in between additions E.G. Some basil... whir... Some olive oil drizzled in... whir.... some basil... until all of the olive oil and basil are added into food processor

3. Add feta cheese until evenly combined throughout

OK! On to Part Deux!

Part 2:

Ingredients

3 Eggs (beaten lightly)

1 tablespoon whole milk (can use skim but for the right consistency, the whole milk goes farther, it's just a tablespoon... I promise you'll be fine...)

1/2 teaspoon butter

Pesto Mixture (see above)

1/2 avocado (rough chopped)

Pepper (to taste) - no salt, feta cheese is salty enough!

Directions

1. As mentioned, lightly beat 3 eggs in a bowl with 1 tablespoon milk until combined (don't over beat!)

2. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat (not high, will make eggs tough) until butter coats entire bottom of pan

3. Add eggs and desired amount of pesto mixture (I added about a tablespoon and a half but this is completely up to you depending on how strong of a pesto flavor you want your eggs to have...)

4. Cook until desired consistency then plate (beautifully of course,) with some fresh cracked pepper over top

5. Garnish with chopped avocado, toast your favorite piece of bread, brew your desired brand of coffee and say it with me now: MMMM!!! GOOD MORNING!
