Instructions
- Lightly spray a 10-inch skillet with nonstick spray and heat on medium to medium-low.
- Add the pesto and wait for it to start bubbling.
- Crack the eggs into the pesto and cook until just about set.
- For sunny side up, cover with a lid and cook until the whites are set.

I served these pesto eggs with leftover crispy potato wedges and with a slice of buttered sourdough bread.
