About Pesto eggs
Pesto eggs are a flavorful twist on a classic breakfast staple, combining the richness of eggs with the aromatic vibrance of basil pesto. This dish originates from Mediterranean cuisine, where pesto—a blend of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan—is a culinary cornerstone. To make pesto eggs, the pesto is used in place of oil or butter when cooking, infusing the eggs with earthy, herbaceous goodness. Packed with protein and healthy fats from both the eggs and olive oil in the pesto, this dish provides sustained energy. The basil and garlic deliver antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, while the inclusion of pine nuts adds heart-healthy nutrients like magnesium. However, pesto can be high in sodium and fairly calorie-dense depending on the recipe, so portion size is key. Pesto eggs are a nutritious, flavorful option when balanced with other wholesome ingredients in a meal.
