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.

BACON, EGG AND PESTO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the bacon on the pan and broil until the bacon begins to brown and shrivel, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the bacon, and continue to cook until crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot your broiler is. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Meanwhile, lightly toast the pine nuts by heating them in a medium dry skillet set over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until they just begin to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because they toast pretty quickly.
• Combine the toasted pine nuts and garlic in a food processor or blender until a paste forms. Add the basil and continue processing until a creamy, green paste has formed. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup olive oil, processing until the oil is fully incorporated. Transfer the paste to a bowl and fold in 1 cup Parmesan with a rubber spatula. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Split the croissants and broil on a baking sheet until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spray 4 egg rings with cooking spray. Put the rings in the skillet and crack 1 egg into each rings. Cover the skillet to trap the steam and cook until the eggs set, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the pesto on the cut sides of each croissant. Place 2 slices of bacon on each croissant, top with an egg and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Enjoy!
