This keto pesto eggs toast is a low-carb twist on the TikTok trend that everyone loves! Learn how to make delicious keto toast too!
Is Pesto Keto
Yes, pesto is a very keto-friendly sauce or condiment. You can easily make your own out of basil, avocado oil, hard grated cheese, pine nuts, and garlic. If you buy it from the store, read all the labels. Some premade pesto might have sugar in it.
The most popular type of pesto is Rao’s homemade. It has 3 grams net carbs in 1/4 a cup. This recipe only uses 2 tablespoons, so it doesn’t increase the carb amounts very much at all.
Pesto Eggs
Have you heard of the viral TikTok recipe “pesto eggs?” It basically uses pesto as a frying oil to cook the over-easy eggs. Then, these eggs are served on top of a crusty piece of toast.
Using pesto as the frying oil is honestly a genius idea! All the nutty and earthy flavors from the pesto cook into the eggs. No more boring fried eggs! And no more guessing about how much spice to use on top of the eggs after they are cooked!
Pesto eggs aren’t usually dairy-free since it is used with different types of hard cheese. I used goat cheese on my toast to add a creamy texture and delicious flavor. If you make your own dairy-free pesto, then this entire recipe is easily dairy-free!
Pesto Eggs Keto
There are only 5 grams of net carbs in each serving. This is an incredibly delicious and filling breakfast. Since it is so easy to make, you can also enjoy it for lunch. This would taste delicious with a low-carb pesto chicken salad on the side!
The flavors will expertly complement each other.
This recipe is super good for you too! Goat cheese is high in healthy fats and low in saturated fat. Eggs are a wonderful source of protein. Pesto is filled with heart-healthy anti-oxidants and a bit of protein from the nuts. It’s a recipe that is full of healthy fats and protein!
Keto Toast
You can use store bought keto-friendly bread to save yourself time, but making low-carb bread at home only takes a few minutes when you follow this easy recipe. It’s a microwave recipe for bread that is low-carb and holds together well enough to be placed in the toaster.
I love making homemade low-carb bread because that way I don’t miss the bread on this diet. The best way to stay within your macros is to find something that tastes amazing and is good for you at the same time.
Easy Keto Breakfast With Eggs
If you are enjoying this for breakfast, eat some low-carb candied bacon twists on the side! Talk about delicious! I like to enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee. It’s a relaxing and delicious way to start the day.
I used goat cheese because of the creamy texture and tangy flavor, but you don’t have to use it. Ricotta cheese, feta, or brie will all taste delicious with the pesto eggs, and they are easy to spread on the toast too.
