Main Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 English muffins, cut in half
- 4 tablespoons of pesto
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons chili onion crunch
Instructions
- Heat Pesto: In a nonstick skillet, heat up the 4 tablespoons of pesto over medium-high heat until warm and fragrant to use as the cooking base for the eggs.
- Toast Muffins with Cheese: Lay out the English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Top one half of each muffin with a slice of provolone cheese. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and gets slightly bubbly. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Eggs in Pesto: Crack the 4 eggs gently into the skillet over the heated pesto. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Finish Cooking Eggs: Flip the eggs carefully to cook the other side. Continue cooking to your desired doneness; for over medium, cook an additional 1 minute.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place each cooked egg on top of the provolone-topped English muffin halves. Spoon approximately 1/2 tablespoon of chili onion crunch over each egg to add a spicy crunch.
- Serve: Top with the other muffin halves and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your flavorful Pesto Egg Sandwich!
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce the chili onion crunch or omit entirely.
- Feel free to substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar cheese if preferred.
- Make sure to keep an eye while broiling the muffins to prevent burning.
- Use fresh pesto for the best flavor or store-bought pesto works well in a pinch.
