Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 min.
Hands-on Time: 15 min.
You will need:
4 slices sourdough bread
1/3 cup prepared pesto
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
1 fresh tomato
4 large eggs
Ground pepper
Butter, for greasing pan
Directions:
1. Place a pat of butter in a skillet to melt over medium heat. Meanwhile, spread pesto on all four slices of bread. Top each slice of bread with one slice of cheese.
2. Transfer bread to skillet with the plain side down. Cover and grill until bread begins to toast and cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. In a separate non-stick skillet, melt a small pat of butter. Add 4 eggs to the pan, next to each other. Lower the heat, and cook until the white is firm and the yolk is to your liking, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat one more time to create 4 servings of two eggs each.
4. Place each slice of pesto toast on a plate. Top with several fresh basil leaves, spinach or arugula, and sliced tomato.
5.Add fried eggs to the top of each slice of toast. Sprinkle with ground pepper.
6. Eat with a knife and fork, and enjoy!
