Indulge in a delicious Pesto Egg Breakfast Sandwich that combines creamy eggs, vibrant pesto, and fresh vegetables for a delightful morning meal.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 1

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large fresh eggs
  • 2 tbsp pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice the bread and avocado and rinse the cherry tomatoes.
  2. Toast the bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add the bread slices and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Sauté the tomatoes: In the same skillet, add halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they blister slightly, around 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cook the eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet after removing the tomatoes briefly. Cook sunny-side-up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Assemble: Spread pesto on one slice of toasted bread. Layer with sliced avocado and cooked eggs.
  6. Season & serve: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs before topping with another slice of toast. Cut diagonally for an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • For added creaminess, use more avocado or try adding spinach to your sandwich.
  •  Experiment with different types of bread for unique flavors and textures.
