Ingredients

For roasted tomatoes

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For eggs

2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon pesto

For toast

2 large slices crusty bread, toasted
Olive oil
Baby arugula
Shaved Parmesan
Chives
Everything bagel seasoning
Red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange the tomatoes on the prepared sheet pan cut-side up in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are wrinkled, but still juicy.
Whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
Heat the pesto in a non-stick skillet over medium low heat. When the pesto starts to sizzle, pour in the eggs. Use a spatula to continually move around the eggs as they cook. They will form curds. Pull them off the heat when they are on the soft side because they will continue cooking.
Drizzle the toast with olive oil and spoon on the eggs. Top with roasted tomatoes, arugula, Parmesan, chives, everything bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes.

Notes

You can roast the tomatoes up to 3 days in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can take the tomatoes out of the refrigerator to warm up at room temperature, or to reheat them, add the tomatoes as you cook the eggs when they start to form curds.

This recipe is best eaten when the eggs are freshly scrambled. It is not great for leftovers.

Variation: You can spread mashed avocado on the toast before adding the eggs, tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients.
