Classic pesto toast with tomato and egg

Pesto (well actually garlic) is my one true love. This is my tried and true pesto recipe that I almost always have in the fridge for pasta, eggs, sandwiches, pizza, you name it. You can substitute pine nuts for pistachios, and arugula for basil depending on what you have on hand.
