Ingredients
  

  • 2 Slices of bread ciabatta or sourdough
  • 1 tbsp Pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 2 Large eggs
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Using a cup or a paring knife, carefully carve an egg-sized hole in the centre of your bread.
  • In a small nonstick pan, gently heat the pesto until it begins to sizzle slightly.
  • Place the bread and the bread cut-out into the pan and then gently crack the egg into the hole within the bread.
  • Allow it to cook for approximately 3 minutes. Flip it over and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute to achieve that perfect over-easy egg.
  • Transfer to a plate and for the finishing touch, season it with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.
