Ingredients
- 1 Avocado
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 4 Bread
- 4 Fresh Eggs
- 4 Tbsp Pesto
- ½ Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- First, prepare your mashed avocado and set it aside for later.
- Melt some butter on a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Placed two thinly sliced breads on the pan for a few minutes to give it a slight buttery toast. Flip your slices of bread to toast the other side.
- Once your two slices of bread are toasted, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
- In the same pan, spoon two generous scoops of pesto and spread it evenly. Let your pesto simmer for a few seconds.
- Next, break the eggs directly over the pesto. You can leave them as-is, or make scrambled eggs by gently folding them in the vibrant pesto as they thicken. I prefer my eggs sunny-side.
- Before your eggs are ready, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and let them melt and crisp in the pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste over the eggs.
- While your eggs cook, spread the mashed avocado on the toast you’ve set aside.
- Once your pesto eggs are ready, turn off the stove, and scoop your eggs onto your avocado toasted bread.
- Garnish your pesto eggs on toast with chives or chili flakes, and enjoy!
