Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1–2 tablespoons basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chili flakes, fresh basil, grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Heat pesto in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Crack eggs into the pan, spacing apart. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
- Cook until whites are set and yolks reach your desired doneness. For firmer yolks, cover briefly or flip gently.
- 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.
