Instructions
Creating Pesto Fried Eggs is an easy process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat Oil or Butter: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
2. Crack the Eggs: Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact.
3. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance the flavor.
4. Cook the Eggs: Allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes).
5. Add Pesto: Once the eggs are almost done, spoon the pesto over the eggs, allowing it to warm slightly from the heat.
6. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor and color.
7. Serve Immediately: Use a spatula to carefully lift the eggs from the skillet and place them on a plate.
Following these steps will lead you to a plate of scrumptious Pesto Fried Eggs in no time!
