Steps to Prepare
- Prepare the roasted tomato slices by preheating your oven to 400°F. Place the tomato slices on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, until they are softened and lightly caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Blend or open your pesto. If you’re making it from scratch, blend basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, and olive oil until smooth. Otherwise, a quality store-bought pesto will work beautifully.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese using a fine grater, so it's ready to sprinkle over each serving for added flavor.
- Slice the fresh mozzarella into even rounds to create layers. Each slice should be about ½ inch thick, ensuring a creamy bite in every mouthful.
- Poach the eggs by bringing a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar, then create a whirlpool and drop in the eggs, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.
- Assemble your creation by layering a slice of roasted tomato, followed by a slice of fresh mozzarella. Gently place a poached egg on top and drizzle with pesto.
- Serve on a bed of arugula.
