Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering all components: eggs, pesto, sriracha, bread, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Crack the eggs directly into the heated skillet, being careful to keep the yolks intact.
- Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
- While eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until they reach a golden brown color and have a crisp texture.
- Spread a generous layer of pesto on both toasted bread slices, ensuring even coverage.
- Drizzle sriracha sauce over the pesto, adjusting the amount to your preferred spice level.
- Carefully transfer the cooked eggs onto one of the pesto-covered bread slices.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the eggs to enhance the flavor.
- Close the sandwich by placing the second pesto-covered bread slice on top of the eggs.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while the eggs are still warm.
Tips
- Pan Temperature is Key: Ensure your skillet is at medium heat to achieve perfectly cooked eggs with set whites and gloriously runny yolks.
- Pesto Pro Tip: Use high-quality, fresh pesto for maximum flavor. Homemade is always best, but a good store-bought version works wonderfully too.
- Sriracha Hack: Start with a light drizzle of sriracha and adjust to your spice tolerance. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Bread Matters: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the moisture of the pesto and eggs. Sourdough or a thick-cut artisan bread works perfectly.
- Egg Perfection: For the most photogenic and delicious results, use fresh eggs and be gentle when cracking them into the pan.
- Seasoning Secret: Don't skimp on the salt and freshly ground black pepper - they're crucial for bringing out the depth of flavors in this sandwich.
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed right after preparation when the eggs are still warm and the bread is crispy.
