Instructions

1. Pick and Wash Basil Leaves

   Remove the basil leaves from the stems, wash them thoroughly and pat dry.

   Finely grate the Parmesan cheese using a microplane or box grater.

3. Make the Pesto

   In a food processor combine the basil, pine nuts (or walnuts), and minced garlic. Pulse until finely minced, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the processor runs. Add the grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper and process once more until smooth.

4. Beat the Eggs

   Crack the two eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until the yolk and white are fully combined and smooth.

5. Cook the Bacon

   Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices. Cook until crisp, then transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium heat

6. Cook Pesto‑Infused Eggs

   In the same skillet (or a clean one) add a spoonful of the fresh pesto and spread it evenly. Pour the beaten eggs over the pesto, let set for about 2 minutes, then flip. Place the Monterey Jack slices on top of the flipped egg and let melt for another minute.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: medium heat

7. Assemble the Sandwich

   Toast the bread if desired. Spread mayo on one slice, layer sliced avocado, tomato, the cooked bacon, and finally the pesto‑egg with melted cheese. Top with the second slice of bread and press gently.
