Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g / 2.12 oz) dairy-free pesto
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) dried minced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g / 0.02 oz) red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • For an extra rich and creamy texture, substitute the almond milk with an equal amount of heavy cream or half-and-half.
  • Customize your bake by adding other to the bottom of the ramekin before the milk and eggs. Try sautéed spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, or crumbled cooked sausage.
  • For firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes. For very runny yolks, start checking at the 10-12 minute mark.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C. Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes and place them on a rimmed baking sheet for easy handling.
  3. Divide the almond milk between the two dishes, pouring 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) into each. Carefully crack 2 eggs into each dish, trying not to break the yolks.
  4. Spoon 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of pesto into each ramekin. Evenly sprinkle the dried minced onion and red pepper flakes over the eggs.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny to your liking.
  6. Carefully remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving hot.
