About Eggs with pesto

Eggs with pesto is a flavorful fusion dish inspired by Italian cuisine. The recipe typically combines soft-cooked eggs—such as scrambled, poached, or fried—with fresh basil pesto, a vibrant sauce made from basil, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan, and garlic. This pairing offers a nutritious balance of protein from the eggs and healthy unsaturated fats from the pesto's olive oil and nuts. Packed with antioxidants from the basil and heart-healthy properties of olive oil, it’s a dish that supports brain and cardiovascular health. However, the Parmesan and pine nuts in pesto contribute to higher calorie and fat content, so portion control is recommended for calorie-conscious individuals. Eggs with pesto can be served over whole-grain toast or alongside fresh vegetables for added fiber and nutrients. With bright flavors and wholesome ingredients, this dish embodies the Mediterranean approach to eating: fresh, simple, and balanced.
