Method

  1. Chop most of the basil, the pine nuts, Parmesan and garlic together very finely with half the oil into a rough pesto.
  2. Warm the rest of the oil in a 10-inch (25cm) nonstick skillet over medium heat, spoon in the pesto and let it sizzle for 20 seconds. Crack in the egg, pour the egg whites around it and cook 3 minutes, until the whites set and the edges turn crisp and green.
  3. Warm the tortilla in the pan for 30 seconds a side. Layer it with the spinach, the pesto eggs, the avocado and the rest of the basil, roll it up tight and cut it in half.
Chef’s tipSlow it: Eggs, cheese and avocado bring the protein and fat that make the tortilla land slowly.
KeepMade and eaten in ten minutes. Make a double batch of pesto: it keeps 3 days in the fridge under a film of oil.
