Great breakfast. I would suggest if using smaller bread to make an omelet and fold it then add other ingredients. I made lumps on the first one as suggested and it was impossible to eat. So the second one I folded the egg. Much easier to eat. Good flavor with the pesto. I added a slice of ham and used swiss cheese.

Oh, yum! I love grilled sandwiches, but never thought of doing them with scrambled eggs. I used a sourdough rye bread, homemade basil pesto, white cheddar cheese, and sundried tomatoes (fresh ones didn't look very good). This is a great combination, and will be on the breakfast table many times to come! Thanks for posting a great recipe!

This panini is really loaded with flavor. I couldn't find panini bread so I used thick slices of Italian bread. I also added a slice of Italian ham because I needed to use it up. I used swiss cheese and put a slice on the bottom and on the top to help hold the panini together. Made for Jan 2010 Photo Tag.

I scaled this down to serve one using 2 eggs & served on foccacia instead of panini. This was really tasty, I never would have thought of combining pesto with eggs but it works, yummo, will make this again. Thanks for posting!
