Calabrian Scrambled Eggs with Jalapeno Pesto Bruschetta
- 1 small ciabatta or 1/2 large ciabatta, halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 8 jalapenos
- Canola oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups tightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- One 6-ounce piece sopressata, cut into small dice
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 9 large eggs
- 6 ounces provolone, cut into small dice, room temperature
- Parsley leaves, for garnish
- For the toasted ciabatta: Drizzle the cut sides of the ciabatta with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Put on a baking sheet cut-side up and bake until lightly golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- For the pesto: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the jalapenos in a few tablespoons of canola oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Roast in an even layer on a baking sheet until soft and the skin is blistered.
- Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let sit for 15 minutes, and then remove the stems and seeds.
- Combine the roasted jalapenos, parsley, Parmesan, pine nuts, garlic and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
- With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil through the feed tube until smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a few more teaspoons of oil and pulse.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- For the scrambled eggs: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat.
- Cook the sopressata and the onions until the sopressata is crisp and the onions have softened, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the pan with the onions and sopressata and cook, stirring constantly until soft curds form.
- Right before you pull the pan off the heat, when the eggs are almost done but not quite, add the provolone and stir for a few seconds to melt.
- To serve, mound the eggs on the top of the toasted ciabatta halves.
- Top with parsley leave, and cut on a slight angle into 8 large slices.
- Serve immediately.
