Description

Master the technique of frying eggs to crispy perfection, complemented by vibrant parsley pesto and nutritious beans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine parsley, pine nuts, garlic, and lemon juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped, then drizzle in olive oil while processing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, heat white beans with salt, pepper, and a splash of water over medium-low heat, mashing slightly until warm; set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack in eggs and fry undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until crispy edges form. Flip and cook for an additional minute for over-easy eggs.
  4. Plate the warm beans and place the crispy eggs on top. Drizzle with parsley pesto and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute eggs with tofu scramble. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
