Directions

1. Peel the potatoes, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Cook in salted boiling water until tender but not mushy. (If you have a pressure cooker, you can also cook unpeeled whole potatoes for 10 minutes under pressure and let the pressure drop naturally. Peel and cut into chunks.).

3. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C degrees.
4. Spray oil in an 8 x 8-inch square pan. Place potatoes on the bottom of the pan and add sautéed onion and mushroom slices on top of the potatoes. Spread pesto evenly on top.
5. In a bowl, beat eggs. Add cream, salt and pepper and mix. Pour into the pan.
6. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until the surface is lightly browned.
7. Infuse love and serve!
