Pesto eggs on toast are hands down one of my favourite go-to breakfasts. If you haven’t made pesto eggs yet I don’t know what you are waiting for. They have been circling the Internet for a while and I honestly think my version of them with ricotta is what makes them stand out. You can enjoy this easy 5 minute meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner if you are like me and enjoy eggs any time of day. This is seriously what breakfast dreams are made of. I love using sprouted or Ezekiel bread but you can use any.

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto – or any
  • 2 medium or large eggs
  • salt and dry oregano to taste
  • any bread, I use sprouted or Ezekiel
  • ricotta is optional, cream cheese is lovely
  • fresh parsley or basil, any herbs

Instructions 

  • Add your pesto to a cold pan on medium-high heat. Let your pesto heat up a touch and gently crack two eggs. Salt and dry oregano on top and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg-white starts to form.
  • Put a lid on and cook covered for the remainder of the time so that the yolk cooks as well (you can reduce the heat to medium-low) after you put the lid on.
  • How cooked or runny you want the yolk will be up to you so you can keep opening the lid to check on it.
  • Toast your favourite bread, add some fresh ricotta on top and your egg. Garnish with any fresh and finely chopped herbs and enjoy.

Notes

You can use any pesto you love, and the Ricotta is optional it is just as good without it. Feel free to use any dairy-free alternative or make your own homemade pesto at home which I do quite often. Hot sauce or chili flakes are optional if you like some heat. Feel free to make these any way you love.

Hi! I'm Sneji. Nice to meet you!

I am more commonly known as “The Modern Nonna” on social media where I create easy home cooked meals with a modern twist. I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria and learned how to cook at the best culinary school in the world – my grandma’s kitchen. I lived in Greece on the Island of Crete with my parents for a while and then moved to Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 5. I started to really cook and experiment with food 11 years ago when I was 21 years old. Everything I currently know is a reflection of some part of my life…
