Ingredients
- Oat flour, for dusting surface
- ½ recipe Double-Duty Dough
- 4 tsp sesame seeds
- ½ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Everyday Pesto
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach or kale
- 1 small avocado
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust a surface with flour; turn dough out. Divide dough into 4 even pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch-long rope. Sprinkle seeds over dough and roll lightly to integrate seeds.
- Transfer ropes to prepared sheet. Attach the ends of each rope to form a circle. Bake for 8 minutes, until firm to the touch and just starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare yogurt-pesto swirl: In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and pesto.
- When ready to serve: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place prebaked dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Crack 1 egg into the center of each hole.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until egg is set. Set aside for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve with a dollop of yogurt-pesto swirl, a sprinkle of greens and avocado slices.
MAKE AHEAD: Make recipe through Step 3 up to 4 days in advance. Let cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Store yogurt-pesto mixture in a separate airtight container.
