- Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet and scramble them gently, stirring occasionally until they are just set but still moist.

- This recipe is great served with toasted bread or a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste to balance the pesto’s herbaceous flavor.
