SPINACH PESTO SCRAMBLED EGGS ON GARLIC BRIOCHE WITH COUNTRY HAM

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add garlic and distribute evenly, then add brioche and coat on both sides with garlic butter. Toast over low heat so garlic doesn't burn until slightly brown and crisp. Remove to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the ham. Cook the ham over medium heat to brown slightly on both sides and to heat through. Remove to a plate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and shallot. In a nonstick skillet over low heat, melt remaining butter. Cook egg mixture over low heat, whisking the entire time so the eggs form little loose curds. Serve eggs over brioche and dollop top with Spinach Pesto.
• In a food processor, pulse to blend, spinach, walnuts, garlic and cheese. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. While machine is running, drizzle in oil until the mixture forms a loose paste. Season, to taste, with pepper.
• Yield: 1 1/4 cups

PESTO EGG TOAST

Steps:

• Turn the oven to its broiler setting and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
• Add the pesto and red pepper flakes to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Allow to heat for 1 minute. Crack the eggs into the pesto and cook to your liking, 4 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread the sourdough with the garlic mayonnaise. Top with the cheese, then broil until toasted and the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Top the toasted bread with the sliced tomato and basil leaves. Top with the eggs, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PESTO AND FRESH RICOTTA

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.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat. Add the peppers. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer over low heat for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium, and stir in the eggs. Cook, stirring every few seconds, until the eggs are scrambled. Remove from the heat and serve.

PESTO EGG WRAPS

• Whisk eggs in large bowl to blend. Whisk in 3 tablespoons pesto. Place 2 slices prosciutto, overlapping slightly, across each of 4 plates. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture and cook until softly set, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon eggs atop prosciutto; fold prosciutto over sides of eggs.
