This was fantastic. I added some arugula. My husband, who is a carnivore and feels a bit meh about most vegetarian dinners, really enjoyed it.

I made this but did not have white bread or leeks. For bread I used some sour dough I a few days ago and garlic chives in place of the leeks. Fantastic.
Thank you for the delish idea :)

I made it today! I ate it today! And ate, and ate and ate and ate... OMG! With the creamy poached egg... OH MY! And I know I can play with it... so it's a gift that keeps giving!

I did this as a side along with grilled salmon and it was fantastic! We had 8 for dinner so I doubled the recipe but next time I make this I won’t bother. Unless this is the only thing on the table I would just make it as written, there was more than enough to go around and we have lots of leftovers. I did soft boiled eggs so I could do them ahead of time, to me that was a bit easier than poaching for that many people. I’ll make this again for sure!

This was really really good! I added some lemon zest to the bread after they were done toasting and it really took them up a notch. Also used a garlic scape pesto instead of the one listed. The poached egg on top ties everything together so nicely!

Excellent and adaptable recipe! I recently did a summer version, subbing sliced zucchini and green beans for the asparagus and snow peas, and threw a few jalapeños into the pest. Delicious.

This is easily my new favorite spring recipe. Since my grocery store was lacking, I had to do without the english pea, and substituted kale for basil in the pesto -- but it doesn't matter, it was still amazing. I can't wait to try this with all of the proper ingredients!

Very delicious. My favorite new summer recipe! I added some thinly sliced zucchini as well.

this was amazing, even the teenagers loved it! we followed the recipe pretty closely and it worked out really well, although for the bread we used a half a loaf of wheat sourdough, which was really good- the addition of the poached egg makes it a substantial meal

Very delicious recipe! The pesto was spicy and fresh and very delicious with the vegetables. In fairness, I must admit that I used green onions instead of leek (since I bought the wrong thing) and no walnuts. I also added a spice mix from Penzey's called Sandwich Sprinkle to the bread. The poached egg on top of this is to die for, especially when the yolk mixes in with everything. I highly recommend this and will definitely make it again!

Edited to add: this reheats very well and makes excellent leftovers. I took the bread cubes out, toasted them in the oven, and then added them back to the veggies (which I warmed up a little in a pan. Perhaps even more delicious after getting time to sit in the fridge!
