Basil pesto Baked Egg Board

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: eggs, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the baked egg, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the milk and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with toasted nuts and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
