Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup baby arugula 
  •  ciabatta rolls toasted sliced in half and , if desired
  • slices chorizo spanish
  •  eggs 
  • tablespoon olive oil extra virgin 
  • medium clove garlic 
  • serving kosher salt to taste
  • ounces parmesan cheese grated
  • ounces sage loosely packed

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Combine sage, walnuts, and garlic in bowl of food processor. Process until evenly chopped, scraping down sides as necessary, about 10 one-second pulses.
  2. Add cheese and pulse to incorporate. With machine running, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup oil. Stop machine and check consistency.
  3. Add up to two more tablespoons olive oil to achieve a loose paste. Season to taste with salt.
  4. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add the slices of chorizo and cook until beginning to crisp, about 2 minutes per side, then move to the side of the pan to make room for the egg. Fry the egg in the chorizo/olive oil until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. Season the top with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Lay the chorizo slices in the ciabatta roll, top with arugula, then with the fried egg.
  7. Drizzle with pesto and serve immediately.
