Pesto with Eggs

Y’all … if you’re a fan of pesto, you are going to love this recipe! This just might be my current obsession, it’s so good!

As much as we loved having this for breakfast this past weekend, I think I enjoyed it more for a quick dinner last night. I like mine on toast and if you have cherry or grape tomatoes – cook them with the eggs for a real treat!! My gosh!! I swear the simplest stuff is always the best.

What to serve with Pesto Eggs

Serve it on toast as an open-faced sandwich. Or try it as an actual sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and maybe even add some bacon! My favorite is to throw in a handful of grape or cherry tomatoes while the eggs are cooking. I think almost any kind of veggie would make a great side dish to this recipe. Here are a few other suggestions:

• Crispy Herb Roasted Potatoes
• Rainbow Fruit Salad with Honey Citrus Dressing
• Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
• Oven-Roasted Asparagus
• Zesty Cucumber Tomato Salad
