This Veggie Pesto Scramble recipe is one of my favourite, flavorful breakfasts. It’s filled with fibre and veggies and contains a nice serving of protein. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch OR dinner, so scramble it up when you’re ready to feel a little lighter. Enjoy!

SERVES 4
For the Pesto:

½ cup Walnuts

2-3 cups basil leaves

4 cloves Garlic

1 teaspoon of sea salt

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Scramble:

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 Green Zucchini, halved and sliced

2 tablespoons Green Onions, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

2 eggs


DIRECTIONS
For the Pesto:
1

Toast the walnuts in a toaster oven for a few minutes — watch closely, they go from brown to black very quickly.

2

Combine the walnuts, basil, garlic and salt in a food processor, add the olive oil, then the nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Combine until your pesto is a nice consistency — don’t over blend.

For the Scramble:
1

Place the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the onions, chives and a Tablespoon of pesto.

2

In a small bowl whisk the eggs. Add to the skillet and cook until just set. Enjoy immediately!
