Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Stir in pesto, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3/4 cup mozzarella. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on top and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.

This was really fast and easy! I added just a splash of 2 % milk (for fluffiness), and put fresh basil on top, along with the tomatoes and cheese, which came out really beautiful. For the future, I would add salt into the egg mix (that's left out of the directions, though I guess it should be obvious), and some sea salt or kosher salt sprinkled lightly on top might be pretty as well. Delicious and took less than 30 minutes total.
