Instructions

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pesto and let it sizzle gently, spreading it to coat the pan.
Crack eggs into the hot pesto. Let cook until whites are set and yolks are still soft (about 2–3 minutes). Cover for a minute if you prefer less runny yolks.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Meanwhile, toast bread slices until golden.
Serve eggs directly over toast or on a plate. Garnish with herbs, microgreens, or an extra drizzle of pesto. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Use farm-fresh eggs for vibrant yolks and better texture.
Make it dairy-free with vegan pesto and serve with your favorite plant-based bread.
Avoid overcooking—runny yolks pair beautifully with herby pesto and toast.
