Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Crack the eggs directly into the pan, then scramble them slowly—combining the yolks and white loosely so that the color variation is still visible between the two. I recommend a heat-resistant silicone spatula for this process.

About one minute into cooking, add the pesto to the pan and continue to scramble the eggs, mixing the pesto in gently.

Once the eggs are no longer runny, they are done.

Serve with extra pesto and a side of Perfectly Baked Bacon (recipe here).
