Pea Pesto and Jammy Egg Tartines

Pea Pesto and Jammy Egg Tartines

We can't think of anything more springy than perfectly jammy eggs nestled atop bright and herby fresh pea pesto.

Makes 2 tartines

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup fresh English peas, shelled
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, packed
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted (or favorite nut of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Vital Farms Eggs
  • 2 pieces crusty bread, toasted
  • salt and pepper

Instructions 

  • Combine the peas, walnuts, and basil in a food processor and pulse until a rough puree forms. Add in the parmesan and olive oil and pulse again until a slightly chunky but cohesive paste forms. Set aside.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in the eggs using a slotted spoon and boil for 6 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with ice and water. Add the boiled eggs to the ice bath. When cool to the touch, peel and cut into quarters.
  • Spread each piece of toast generously with the pesto. Arrange two eggs-worth of quarters on top of each toast. Season with salt and pepper.
