Pesto eggs are a hit on TikTok, and this is the recipe
That standard fried egg for lunch could use a little sprucing up, don’t you think? The trick to taking them from tasty to insanely delicious is frying them in a generous layer of pesto. That’s how you get pesto eggs. A recipe that’s been going viral on—yes—TikTok for a while now.
TikTok is the platform where all the brilliant foodies seem to gather. I mean: healthy cookie dough? McDonald’s loaded fries? Espresso Martini with a layer of Parmesan cheese? What a time to be alive. With these pesto eggs, we’re adding another winner to our TikTok recipe book.
Eggs in a thick layer of pesto
From your cupboard: your favorite egg-frying pan. From your fridge: eggs and pesto. And your favorite toppings. Fresh basil and cherry tomatoes, for example. Maybe some chili flakes if you like things nice and spicy? Finding the ingredients is probably the most work this recipe involves.
Other than that, it’s basically just a matter of frying an egg, but in a layer of pesto. Make sure the pan is nice and hot, spread a few tablespoons of pesto over the bottom of the pan, Tik(tok) your eggs in on top and get frying. Finish with any toppings you like and you’ll have a spectacular brunch in front of you. Check out the TikTok below for inspiration.

Could it get even better? Yes. By making your own pesto, of course! Super simple, and with a secret ingredient, the flavor maker becomes truly irresistible. Make a nice batch, so you can literally add it to any dish. Or make pesto eggs for all eternity. At least, that’s what I have planned.
