How to Make Creamy Pesto Eggs 🥄

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil and let it melt.

Step 2: Create the Pesto Cream Base

Stir in 2 tbsp of basil pesto and ¼ cup of heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
Let it gently simmer for 30 seconds to enhance the flavors.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

Crack 2-3 eggs directly into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs.
Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Carefully spoon the pesto eggs onto toasted sourdough, an English muffin, or a tortilla.
Top with shredded parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, herby goodness!
