This Pesto Toast with Tomato and Eggs is an easy breakfast idea that is high in protein and easily customizable. Works with homemade or store bought pesto!

Pesto Toast with Tomato and Eggs is a vibrant, flavor-packed breakfast that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying. A thick slice of toast is slathered with fresh homemade pesto, layered with juicy tomato slices, and crowned with a perfectly cooked sunny side egg. The runny yolk mingles with the herby pesto, creating a rich, savory sauce that soaks into the bread, while the tomatoes add a burst of freshness. It’s simple, wholesome, and the kind of morning meal that feels like a treat.

Pesto (well, actually garlic) is my one true love, and it’s the star of so many meals I whip up. This is my go-to pesto recipe, one I almost always have stocked in my fridge. It’s a kitchen staple for me because it pairs perfectly with everything—pasta, eggs, sandwiches, pizza, you name it. The beauty of pesto is its versatility: if you’re out of pine nuts, feel free to swap them for pistachios, and if you don’t have basil, arugula makes a great substitute. To make this delicious pesto, all you need is a food processor. You’ll blend together fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, garlic (lots of it, of course), parmesan cheese, pine nuts, salt, and pepper.
