Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

I love this stuff! It is perfect on bagel or panini sandwiches with turkey or ham or even just as a sauce on pasta. Perfect with spinach and cheese. It can be used as a sauce or a spread. If you haven't tried it you should!

In honor of Easter coming up I'm posting a recipe I found. I love these, and I can eat lots of them! Oh, and my child who eats regular food loves it too. =)

Serving Size:
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
5 cups frozen loose-packshredded-style hash brown potatoes
5 eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
6 grape tomatoes, halved (optional)

Method:
Let’s make it! ¡Vámonos!

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place potatoes in a large bowl, breaking up any large clumps.

In a small bowl, beat 1 egg, butter, oil, and salt with a fork until well combined. Add egg mixture to potatoes and toss to coat completely. Divide potato mixture into 4 equal mounds 3 to 4 inches across. With the back of a spoon create a ¼-cup sized indention in center of each mound.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Crack 1 of each of the remaining eggs into the mounds. Top with cheese. Bake for about 7 minutes until egg whites are set and yolk is almost cooked through, or to the doneness you’d like.
Transfer to plates and top with grape tomatoes, if you’d like.
