Calabrian Scrambled Eggs With Jalapeno Pesto Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• For the white bean: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• For the tapenade: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
• For the fresh tomato: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the bruschetta: Brush bread with olive oil on one side and grill oiled side down until golden brown. Top with the white beans, tapenade and tomatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Slice the bread in half the long way. Brush the cut sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill, cut-side down, until nicely charred. Remove from the grill to a cutting board. While the bread toasts, toss the tomatoes with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and the chopped basil. Mound the mixture on the toasted bread. Melt the butter in a large nonstick saute pan over low heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy with the coarse pepper. Add the eggs to the skillet and mix gently using a rubber spatula until soft curds form. Fold in the cheese and remove from the heat. Spoon the eggs onto 4 dinner plates. Slice the bruschetta into 4 or 8 pieces and put next to the eggs. Drizzle some olive oil over the bruschetta and scatter the basil leaves on top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine egg, Cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Pour into pan, and cook stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat, and stir in pesto.
