Pesto eggs are all the rage right now, and I’m here for it. But alone on a piece of toast is not going to cut it for me, so I gave it a major upgrade. This pesto egg avocado toast is LOADED and it is GOOD.
Start with your favorite bread. I love love love either Dave’s Killer Bread or Ezekiel 4:9 English muffins. On top of the warm toasty bread is the creamy avocado.
I have been really into sun-dried tomatoes this year, and they’re the perfect addition to this toast. I think the ones that come in a bag without oil are the best- you can find these at Trader Joe’s or local farmer’s markets. The tomatoes go on top of the avocado, along with a sprinkle of black pepper, parmesan, and a small handful of mixed greens.
Now for the star of the show- the eggs. Any pesto will work for frying these bad boys up. I use about 1 tsp and spread it around in the pan before cracking my eggs into it. We’re all big fans of the runny yolk in my house, but cook it to your liking.
For the final touch, I use a drizzle of hot honey on top of this incredible pesto egg avocado toast. I found mine at Trader Joe’s, but Mike’s Hot Honey is another phenomenal brand. It adds the perfect amount of sweet heat to top off this incredible piece of toast.
And lastly, if a piece of toast, no matter how decked out it is, isn’t enough to fulfill you, try pairing it with my mocha protein smoothie. This duo has been my go-to all summer long.
