Just made some homemade pesto with basil from the garden, some garlic, walnuts, parmesan, pinch salt, and extra virgin Olive Oil... I was going to do a turkey breast... but not sure if the pesto works... [p]Any ideas for uses... perhaps as a crusting component?[p]Gracias

  • WPB,
    Have yet to try this on the egg - always done it on the stovetop in a skillet. Anywho, make a pocket in a chicken breast and fill with the pesto. We add cherry tomatoes halved that were cooked in EVOO for 1 to 2 minutes on top of the chicken prior to serving.
    Here is the pesto recipe we use (pretty similar)
    2 c. fresh basil
    3 T pine nuts
    1 garlic clove chopped
    1/2 t kosher salt
    3T EVOO
    1/4 c. paresean cheese

  • WPB,[p]I like to make pesto pizza's... Use the pesto instead of red sauce..
