Pumpkin pesto fried eggs

Super easy and delicious breakfast idea for pumpkin pesto fried eggs.  This breakfast is absolutely scrummy, low-carb, gluten-free and vegetarian. It is very healthy as well.

When it comes to breakfast in our house, it is always my responsibility. Or, to be fair it is not a responsibility. It is the understanding that if I do not make breakfast, nobody will…

Yep, I said it. I can not complain about it as it gives me more freedom on what the great breakfast is supposed to look and taste like. If my husband was responsible for breakfast, I would be served fried bacon with bacon and a side of bacon…. so I am glad I have a power over what we eat. This time I decided to serve this amazing and nutritious pumpkin pesto fried eggs.

How to make pumpkin pesto fried eggs

First I would suggest making one portion of my homemade pumpkin pesto sauce. Then the process is pretty smooth. Heat up a medium pan, add butter and two tablespoons of pumpkin pesto. Mix and fry it for a minute. then add 2 eggs. Put a lid on and cook eggs for few minutes to your liking. When eggs are ready transfer them on a plate, season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle some chives and add your favourite vegetables. Voila!

What do pumpkin pesto fried eggs taste like?

This dish tastes heavenly, it is light and will fill you up for a long time. The creamy, earthy pumpkin pesto blends delightfully with rich egg yolks. Fresh chives and radishes add freshness to the whole dish. You can omit the radishes if you do not like them and replace with vegetables of your choice.

Apart from vegetables I have served eggs with homemade lo-carb seeded crackers. I will be sharing recipe for crackers soon, so please keep checking my blog.
