Egg And Pesto Sushi Recipes

PESTO EGG PUFF PASTRY SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Beat 6 of the eggs together in a bowl. When the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs, spinach and pesto, along with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the fontina.
• Beat together the remaining egg and a splash of cold water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Set aside.
• Lay out the two sheets of puff pastry and roll them into 9-by-10-inch rectangles. Cut each into six 3-by-5-inch rectangles. Divide the egg mixture among six of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1-centimeter border around the edges. Fold the ham and place it on top of the eggs. Brush the borders with the egg wash and top each with another puff pastry rectangle. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the everything seasoning. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold and enjoy.

EGG AND PESTO SUSHI

Steps:

• Combine rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender and water is absorbed. Leave covered, and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl to cool completely.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour in the eggs, and scramble until cooked through. Season them with a little salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Lay one sheet of nori on a clean work surface, or if you have one, a sushi mat. Wet your hands, and press a layer of cooled rice about 1/3 inch thick onto half of the sheet. Spread a line of pesto across the edge of the rice about 1/2 inch wide. Top with a line of egg. Roll the sheet of nori over the pesto egg and rice to reach the empty part of the sheet. Wet the end, and roll up to seal. Use a knife to cut the roll into 6 small rolls.

PESTO RISOTTO WITH CANNELLINI BEANS, TOMATOES, AND POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in white wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until wine is absorbed.
• Add 1/2 cup broth, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Working in batches, continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring until all broth is absorbed. When done, rice should be tender and creamy. (Step 2 should take 20 to 25 minutes total.)
• Stir Parmesan cheese, pesto, 1/4 cup parsley, and 1 tablespoon vinegar into the risotto. Keep warm.
• Combine beans, tomatoes, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium heat, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, bring 4 cups water and the remaining vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break an egg into a custard cup. Hold the lip of the cup close to water and slip egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to remove from skillet.
• Serve risotto topped with tomato-bean mixture, poached eggs, and remaining parsley. Sprinkle with pepper.
