Serves1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tbsp ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 avocado mashed
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Spread the pesto in an even layer in an 8-inch nonstick skillet and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs on top of the pesto and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg whites are just set, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let sit until whites are completely set and yolks still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Toast sourdough bread, spread with mashed avocado and ricotta. Top with pesto eggs, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with chili flakes.
