🥚 Wake up to a protein‑packed breakfast that’s ready in minutes and bursts with fresh basil flavor.
🌿 The vibrant pesto pairs perfectly with eggs for a satisfying, gourmet‑style start to your day.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (2 eggs)

Ingredients

– 1 to 2 tablespoons (approximately 15 to 30 g) Basil pesto

– 2 Large eggs (approximately 100 g total)

– 1/4 tsp Salt to taste

– 1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper to taste

– a pinch Chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

1-Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the pesto, letting it warm and coat the pan for about 30 seconds.

2-Crack the two eggs directly into the skillet, then reduce the heat slightly and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are as you like them about 2 to 3 minutes săn for sunny-side-up.

3-Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes if you’re adding some spice.

4-Serve right away, perhaps on toasted bread or in a wrap for a complete meal.

Notes

🍳 Try a different egg style—scramble, poach, or make a thin omelet—for variety.
🌱 Use homemade pesto for the freshest taste, but a quality jarred version works fine; just skip extra oil.
🔺 Add sundried‑tomato bits or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor flair.
