Description
Pesto Eggs are a flavorful and easy twist on traditional breakfast eggs. Cooked with rich basil pesto, these eggs are creamy, savory, and customizable, making them the perfect quick meal to start your day.
Ingredients
1–2 tablespoons basil pesto
2 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Pesto: Place 1-2 tablespoons of pesto in a fry pan over medium heat. The pesto provides enough oil, so there’s no need to add extra butter or oil.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to your desired style—fried, scrambled, or sunny-side-up.
- Season: Add salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes to taste.
- Serve: Serve your pesto eggs on a slice of toasted bread, in a sandwich, or wrapped in a tortilla for a quick, tasty breakfast.
Notes
Add grated Parmesan or mozzarella for extra creaminess and flavor.
For a more filling breakfast, sauté vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes and add them to the eggs.
For a vegan version, use scrambled tofu and dairy-free pesto.
If you prefer more heat, increase the chili flakes or add a few dashes of hot sauce.
