How to Make It

1. Step
Make the pea pesto: Add the peas, herbs, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the peas are mostly broken down, 1–2 minutes.
2. Step
Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) of olive oil and blend until smooth. For a looser consistency, add more olive oil until your desired texture is reached. Transfer the pea pesto to an airtight container; you should have about 2 cups. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 1 week.
3. Step
Assemble the toast: Spread ¼–⅓ cup of pea pesto over the toasted sourdough. Drape the prosciutto over the pesto and top with the poached egg. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
4. Step
Enjoy!
