COttage Chz & Pesto Egg Toast

Looking for a super simple, protein & flavour packed breakfast that takes no time at all? I'm a huge fan of making toast a vessel for whatever gorgeous toppings I'm in the mood for. You get that glorious crisp of perfectly grilled or toasted bread, adding a necessary and welcome crunch to every delicious bite.

These toasts feature only a few, simple ingredients but don't let the simplicity fool you in to thinking these toasts aren't packed with flavour!

WHAT YOU NEED

• Sourdough Bread
• Prepared Red Pesto
• 2% Cottage Cheese
• Large, Free-Range Brown Eggs
• EVOO & 1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter for Frying
• Chili Oil / Pepperoncini In Oil
• Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper
• Red Pepper Flakes

• Depending on how many toasts you're making, time your eggs accordingly. In the case it's just one, begin by heating the butter and oil in a small skillet set to just a little below medium. Crack in your egg, season generously with salt, cracked pepper, and pepper flakes, and fry until whites are set and yolk is golden. Remember, baste your whites!! Tilt your skillet and let the oil / butter pool. Use a spoon to spoon the hot oil over your egg whites, particularly the area closest to your yolk. This will ensure your whites are cooked properly but your yolk stays runny and perfect!
• Grill / toast you bread. Spread on some butter followed by a nice slathering of your prepared Calabrian Chili Pesto., and a nice dollop or two of cottage cheese, spread out nicely. Top with your gorgeous fried egg, drizzle with chili oil and some fresh basil. ENJOY!
