Submitted by Lene8655

"This is delicious, and the rippled effect not only comes from the pesto, but also ffrom the egg yolks and whites being mixed together."

Great wake up flavor for a Sunday Brunch. Excellent pesto. I only made 2 eggs but made the full pesto (I'll use the leftover in another dish). I didn't scramble the eggs too much just enough to streak. Served on a whole wheat toasted bagel Thanks Lene for another recipe to save

Yummy! I used cooking spray instead of oil and smart balance spread instead of butter. I also cheated and used prepared pesto in a jar. I added some chopped sundried tomatoes and topped with freshly grated parmesan. What a treat! Thanks for a delicious and different breakfast idea.
