METHOD:
Baked Breakfast Eggs

1 - Pre-heat the oven to 240°C Fan 220°C Gas mark 9.

2 - Place the cubed butternut in a large oven proof dish/pan (I like to use the Robert Welch Campden Casserole Pan). Drizzle over the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to make sure each piece is coated. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes..

3 - While the butternut is in the oven, make the pesto. Whizz the basil, lemon juice, olive oil and pistachios in a food processor. Stir through the chilli flakes, if using, and season with salt and pepper.

4 - Remove the pan from the oven, nestle in the cherry tomatoes and prosciutto. Continue to bake for a further 10 minutes.

5 - Remove the pan from the oven, create some space for the eggs and then crack them in. Crumble over the feta and return to the oven to bake for about 4 minutes, until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still a little runny.

8 - Season with salt and pepper. Grate over some lemon zest and scatter over some chilli flakes. Serve straight away along with the basil and pistachio pesto.
