Author's Notes

The pesto can be stored in the fridge for a week, and the amount of the pesto in this recipe is enough to make up to about 8 servings of pesto eggs. You can substitute the sourdough with any kind of bread that you like.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
In the food processor, add Fresh Basil Leaves (2 cups), Pine Nuts (4 Tbsp), Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), and Garlic (2 cloves). Pulse several times until well chopped.
step 2
Slowly add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup) while the food processor blade is still running at its lowest power.
step 3
Season with Salt (1/4 tsp), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/8 tsp), 1 tsp of Lemon Juice (1), and Honey (1/2 tsp). Pulse a couple of times just to make sure that all the seasonings are well blended. Transfer to a clean container.
step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low. Once hot, add about 1-2 tbsp of pesto, spread it out, then crack the Eggland's Best Classic White Eggs (8) in and carefully break the white a little bit. Cover with a lid. Let the egg slowly cook with the pesto for 2-3 minutes or until the desired doneness.
step 5
Turn off the heat. Transfer the pesto eggs to the top of the Sourdough Bread (8 slices). Optionally sprinkle with Simply Organic® Red Chili Peppers (to taste). Serve warm.
