Healthy Pesto Eggs Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: These recipes are a little difficult to “meal prep”. You can get ahead by prepping pesto and just getting organized. But meal prepping eggs can be tricky.
Storage: If you have leftovers (again meal prep is not ideal with this recipe) you can store it in a meal prep container and store in the fridge for 3 days.
Reheating: You can reheat in an oven at 200-250 degrees until warmed through. Or a microwave for 1-2 minutes. A note though, eggs cook more when you reheat them.

These healthy pesto eggs on toast are just 183 calories and take only 10 minutes to make!
We use our homemade "no oil" low calorie pesto, which is why we have to spray the pan with olive oil. But if you choose to use store-bought pesto, you can skip this step.
Special Tip: You can use your favorite pesto… and if you look above you will find 2 different kinds to make (pistachio or traditional).

Instructions
 

  • Spray a medium pan (for 2 servings, or large for 4 servings) with olive oil and heat over medium heat until hot.
  • Add the homemade pesto to the pan, and spread out in an even layer.
  • Cook the pesto for 2-3 minutes until hot.
  • Once hot, crack the eggs right into the pan, giving them each a bit of space to cook.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Cook the eggs for 4 to 5 minutes (for runny eggs). Or 6-8 minutes for over medium, or 9-11 minutes for over hard eggs.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread to desired doneness.
  • Using a spatula, scoop the eggs and pesto from the pan, and place atop the toast.
  • Serve hot.
