Ingredients
  

  • 6 sundried tomatoes in oil
  • 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 handful basil leaves
  • 6 eggs

Method
 

  1. Put the sundried tomatoes, cheese, garlic and basil leaves in a small food processor. Blitz until you get a rough paste. Add 1 tsp oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs slightly, then add the pesto and mix well.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof, non-stick frying pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Let it spread out evenly. Turn down the heat and cook until the surface is jelly-like.
  4. Turn on the grill and put the frying pan under the heat for half a minute until the top gets crispy and golden brown.
  5. Slide it out onto a plate. Cut it into wedges and serve with bread and a green salad.
  6. Alternatively let it cool and cut it into squares and serve as nibbles.
