Pesto Eggs On Avocado Toast
Pesto eggs are my new favorite breakfast trend. Essentially, replace butter or oil used to fry your eggs with pesto. Sunny side up eggs are gently fried in fresh basil pesto and served on avocado toast!

- When oil in pesto is hot and pesto is shimmery crack two eggs into the pesto.
