Le Grand Pesto

November 11, 2008

Poached Egg

Pesto can enliven almost every dish (except sweet desserts, but try them with cheese). Here, Le Grand’s herbalicious Garden Pesto turns the same old poached egg into a gourmet delight. Healthy eaters can enjoy the egg, pesto, microgreens and stewed plum tomatoes. Revelers can rest a pancake and some bacon underneath. Photo by Brett Mulcahy | IST.

WHAT IT IS: A line of pestos and similar-style sauces and condiments.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT: Made in small batches from very fresh ingredients, so they taste as if you made them at home.

WHY WE LOVE IT: The fab flavors, the thick consistency, the versatility.

WHERE TO BUY IT: At Whole Foods Markets nationwide and Zabars.com.
