Start your day with a burst of flavor and nutrition with our Easy Pesto Eggs recipe. This delightful dish combines the creamy richness of eggs with the vibrant flavors of pesto, creating a unique breakfast that’s both satisfying and quick to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 large eggs
1/4 cup pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons milk (optional for creaminess)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or mozzarella (optional, for extra flavor)
Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients. If you're making homemade pesto, blend fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.
In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, then add the pesto sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs just before removing them from the heat. Allow it to melt slightly for about 1 minute.
Transfer the eggs to a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
