Description

Upgrade your breakfast with these quick and flavorful Pesto Eggs! Fried gently in herby basil pesto, each bite is packed with savory aroma and creamy yolk goodness — ready in under 5 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 tablespoons basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chili flakes, fresh basil, grated Parmesan


Instructions

  1. Heat pesto in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Crack eggs into the pan, spacing apart. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
  3. Cook until whites are set and yolks reach your desired doneness. For firmer yolks, cover briefly or flip gently.
  4. Serve warm, optionally on toast with fresh basil or Parmesan.

Notes

  • Use full-fat, high-quality pesto for best flavor.
  • Don’t overheat the pesto — basil can burn quickly.
  • Great served on toast, over veggies, or with avocado.
