My new favourite way to eat eggs for breakfast, and I'm sure you'll love it too! Provides a fun change from simple scrambled eggs, and is super easy to make as well!
Ingredients
For the Eggs
  • 4 eggs
  • Splash of almond milk
  • Sprinkle of salt & pepper
  • Coconut oil, for cooking
  • 2 tablespoons kale pesto
Kale Pesto
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 large handfuls of kale
  • 1 large handful basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
For the Kale Pesto
  1. Start by making your pesto. On a dry skillet, lightly toast your cashews on medium to high heat. Let cool for a couple minutes then place a food processor with shallot, garlic, kale, and basil and pulse a few times until finely chopped.
  2. Add in the olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper and blend until combined. Pulse in the parmesan until mixed though. Taste and adjust any seasoning. Keeps in the fridge in a sealed container for about 1 week.
For the Eggs
  1. Crack your eggs into a bowl and carefully mix them with the almond milk, salt, & pepper. You don’t want to intensely whisk here, so no need to fully mix the yolks with the whites.
  2. Heat a skillet or frying pan on medium-high heat with some coconut oil. Pour in your eggs and decrease the heat to low. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds before using a spatula to push the outside corners towards the centre. You’re basically creating space for the uncooked eggs to come in contact with the hot pan.
  3. After about another 30 seconds, repeat this again. Do until the eggs are almost cooked to your liking (I like mine a bit soft) and then carefully top with the kale pesto, give one last fold, and serve on a plate with some avocado and toast, if you desire.
