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.
