Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 small (6-inch) tortillas (whole wheat if you can find them, but not necessary; if not, get flour tortillas)
  • 4 extra large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons pesto (homemade or store bought)
  • 8 ounces goat cheese (2 tablespoons per tortilla)
  • 2 cups baby arugula (watercress or any microgreens are a good substitute)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional Garnish: balsamic vinegar
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Pizza ... I prefer to use a pizza stone; but, you can always make this on a baking sheet. Make sure if using a pizza stone, preheat the stone at least 15 minutes to heat up. Spray the baking sheet or pizza stone with olive oil, then, add the tortilla and brush or spoon on the pesto (1 tablespoon) per tortilla. Note: There are many good store bought brands; so for convenience, take advantage of that. Then, top with goat cheese, (breaking it up as you add it) making sure to leave a 'space' in the center for the egg. Add the cheese around that area creating a little wall so the egg will not spill out. Then add the egg to the center. Make sure to season well with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2: Bake ... Return the pizza stone or the baking sheet to the middle shelf for 5-7 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, I turn on the broiler and move the shelf up to finish cooking the egg. Depending on your oven and whether you use a pizza stone or baking sheet, this can take 1-3 minutes. You still want the yolk runny, but the whites set.

  • Step 3: Finish ... Serve the pizza, one per plate and top with the baby arugula, watercress, or micro greens. I happen to enjoy the peppery taste of the arugula; but any micro greens will work. I like to garnish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar - but it is optional. ENJOY! a delicious easy dish.

  • Step 4: NOTE: These can be prepared on any size tortilla; just adjust the ingredients to fit a larger tortilla. You can also add 2 eggs to a larger one; so just use the basic recipe and make it your own.
