Ingredients (1 Servings)

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, fresh basil

Directions

  • Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter and let it melt.

  • Add pesto: Spoon the pesto into the pan and spread it evenly across the surface.

  • Cook the eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the pan over the pesto. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes, or longer if you prefer fully cooked yolks.

  • Serve: Carefully transfer the eggs to a plate. Add any toppings you like, such as Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil. Serve with toast, avocado, or enjoy as-is!
