2 tbsp | Basil pesto (Sunflower Kitchen makes amazing pestos!) |
1/2 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |

Quick Tips:
To poach eggs: Add a large pot of water to your stove-top over medium-high. When the water hits an almost simmer, add a splash of vinegar to the water. Crack the egg into a small bowl (one egg at a time). Stir the water with a spoon to create a ’whirlpool' effect. Pour the egg into the middle of the swirling tornado and watch the egg white wrap around the yolk helping to bind it all together. Turn off heat & allow the egg to cook for 5 mins (or 8 if you like hard poached). Remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and serve.
Sunflower Kitchen is a great pesto brand to use for this recipe, or you can simply make your own.
For vegan substitutions, use tofu or tempeh instead of eggs.
