top scrambled eggs with chilli and garlic pesto
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and the bacon. Fry for 5 to 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Transfer the bacon on to some pieces of kitchen paper to drain and set aside.
To make your eggs, simply put a small pan over a low heat and add a good knob of butter. Melt it slowly until frothy. Pour the eggs into the pan and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir them slowly with a wooden spoon or spatula, making sure you get right into the sides of the pan. While you’re doing this, pop some bread in the toaster. Your eggs are done when they still look silky and custard-like. Butter the toast and serve the eggs on top of the toast with a spoonful of chilli and garlic pesto dolloped on top and your crispy bacon on the side.
