INGREDIENTS
4 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
1 medium Tomato
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 Large Egg
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato into even rounds.
In a food processor or small bowl, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Blitz or whisk until a smooth, aromatic pesto forms.
Arrange a slice of mozzarella on a plate, top with a slice of tomato, drizzle a small amount of the basil pesto, then add another slice of mozzarella. Repeat the layering to create a stack.
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar if desired, and carefully poach the egg until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully place the poached egg atop your mozzarella and tomato stack, drizzle with extra basil pesto if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately while the egg is warm and the flavors meld beautifully on your palate.
