Variations/How to switch it up
You can use different kinds of pesto. Why not try this recipe with pesto Rosso?
Add some mozzarella or parmesan cheese onto the eggs for another Mediterranean kick.
If you like it spicy, add some chili or hot sauce.
You can make a sandwich with these - add some lettuce and tomatoes, maybe even cooked bacon.
Fry some cherry tomatoes in the same pan and serve them with the eggs.
