Directions for Avocado and Red Pesto Bowl

Serves 4
Prep time: 15 minutes

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment and add potatoes, olive oil, and salt and pepper to the pan.
3. Gently toss to coat the potatoes with the oil, salt and pepper.
4. Bake 30-35 minutes. Bring 4 inches of water to a simmer and gently crack eggs into the simmering water. You can safely poach up to 3 eggs at a time.
5. Do not disturb the egg for 30 seconds. Do not allow water to boil.
