Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and have them ready. This makes cooking much smoother.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, allowing them to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
  4. When the eggs are almost done, gently spoon the pesto over the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid for an additional minute. This helps the pesto warm up and blend with the eggs.
  5. Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate. Drizzle a little extra pesto on top, if desired, and serve with your favorite bread.

Notes
