Looking for a little variety for breakfast? Make pesto eggs!
This recipe is an adaptation of a mint pesto egg recipe featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine this month. They have quite a collection of delightful egg recipes in there. This one looked especially good but I am not a “mint person.” So, I used classic pesto instead and does it taste delicious.
As someone who loves “quick ‘n easy,” I purchased a dab of prepared pesto at my grocery store for .45 cents, instead of making it. Only .45 cents? I didn’t need much! The store has a luscious Mediterranean olive bar with a variety of selections including PESTO! If you prefer making your own, or don’t have a source nearby to get it, here is a recipe: Classic Pesto Recipe
