Step 1
Pulse basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped, ~30 seconds.
Step 2
Add ricotta, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper; pulse until just combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Crack eggs into a bowl; whisk with a pinch of salt until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 4
Melt butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, ~60 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in eggs; let sit for 10 seconds, then push gently from edges to center with a spatula.
Step 6
Continue stirring slowly until curds form but eggs still look glossy, ~3 minutes total.
Step 7
Remove pan from heat when eggs are still slightly loose (they'll firm up off heat).
Step 8
Fold pesto gently into eggs using a rubber spatula until streaky and swirled.
Step 9
Divide between two plates and serve immediately with toasted bread.
