Green Pesto Eggs

  I really like breakfast.  Well, let's be honest.  I really like food!  But, I would say breakfast is one of my favorite meals.  Maybe it's because I feel like I can eat a bit more because I know I have the whole day to work it off.  Or maybe I just really like food and I somehow find a way to combine all my favorite foods with breakfast.  Today we have a really busy day and I knew I needed something quick and easy. I had made the Pesto Pasta Salad the other day and had a little pesto left over, so that was the first thing that came out of the fridge. 

  I love pesto and it really can go on anything but I don't know how many people would think to throw it on eggs.  If you haven't tried this before...you need to NOW!!  Pesto is packed with basil, lemon and goodness. I love pairing it with some sun-dried tomatoes because well, I love sun-dried tomatoes.  If you throw in some microgreens you now have a yummy, easy and pretty healthy breakfast in no time. 

  Microgreens are a big go to for me.  I typically always have them in the fridge.  They are packed with tons of nutrients including calcium.  There are different varieties, such as Kale, Cabbage, Radish and many more.  They are delicious and you can get a big bang from a small amount. It's an easy add on to dishes that my kids actually like.  Maybe it's because they get a smaller portion or maybe they actually like it.  I don't know and I don't care as long as they eat it!  Surprisingly, my kids really like salads on most days, not all, but most days.  Kids are always unpredictable and love to keep you on your toes.  

  I will almost always choose over easy eggs.  I love the runny yolks mixing with the pesto.  It just tastes so good.  I couldn't imagine it any other way for myself.  But if you like scrambled this will still work.  Just mix the pesto and sun-dried tomatoes into the egg mixture.  Then top the scrambled eggs with microgreens and you are set. It will still be delicious.  If you are feeling really silly you could add a bit of ham and you have yourself greens eggs and ham!   Happy cooking and eating!
