Egg Pesto Melt

By devogirl

Even when I’m short on time and still have a night of bath, brushing teeth, books, and bed ahead of me (phew, I’m exhausted…do these days ever end?), at least I can be assured we all have bellies full of nutritious food.

breakfast, easy, kids,

Ingredients

• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Tbsp Pesto
• 1/2 Tsp Vegetable or Canola Oil
• 1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk the egg and pesto in a bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the bottom.
3. Allow the egg to cook for one minute, using a rubber spatula to gently pull the egg away from the sides of the pan so the rest of the liquid egg can continue to coat the pan and cook.
4. Using the spatula, fold the outside parts of the omelet inwards into a square shape (to fit the bread).
4. Remove the square-shaped omelet to a plate, place a slice of bread topped with half of the shredded cheese, cheese side up, in the pan. Top with the omelette, remaining cheese and slice of bread. Cook for 1 minutes on each side until golden.
5. Serve.
