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 InstructionsHide images

step 1

In the food processor, add Fresh Basil Leaves (2 cups), Pine Nuts (1/4 cup), 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 (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 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 Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste). Serve warm.
