👨🍳 Instructions
- To make the pesto: Place spinach leaves, basil leaves, minced garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse until a spreadable paste forms.
- Set aside.
- To roast the asparagus and scallions: Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the asparagus spears and scallions in a 9x13 pan and drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 20 minutes, or until they have browned.
- To make the tomato and cucumber salad: In a medium bowl, toss together the chopped tomato, the chopped cucumber, and the chopped basil.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the bacon and bronzed toast: Fry up bacon slices on a griddle over medium heat.
- Once both sides have crisped, remove from griddle and place on a paper towel.
- Dont drain the bacon grease, use this pan to toast the slices of bread. Place the slices of sourdough bread on the griddle and bronze each side.
- Take off heat once both sides have browned
- For the fried egg: melt butter in skillet on medium heat.
- To get the heart-shaped egg, we cracked the eggs into Norpro Nonstick Heart and Pancake Egg Rings, then continued to fry just until egg white is cooked, or sunny-side up, roughly 1 minute.
- You could also fry the egg normally and cut the egg into a heart shape.
- To assemble sandwiches: Place 2 slices of bacon on a slice of the bronzed sourdough toast.
- Place a few roasted asparagus spears and scallion on top of the bacon.
- Spread a thick layer of spinach basil pesto.
- Finally, top with the heart-shaped fried egg.
