This easy egg dish works equally well as the centerpiece of brunch or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup basil pesto
• Coarse salt and pepper
• 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella (4 ounces), divided

• 2 small tomatoes, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

1.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.
