Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to high. Shred or slice the cooked chicken and halve the cherry tomatoes. Tear the mozzarella into chunks.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of pesto and plenty of black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour over the egg mixture, then dot the mozzarella across the top. Cook on the hob for 5 minutes until the base is set.

  5. 5

    Grill for 3–4 minutes until bubbling and golden. Drizzle the remaining pesto over the top and serve in wedges.
