An Egg Sandwich with Arugula Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes is the perfect dish for any meal of the day. It’s savory and colorful, and it’s easy to make!
I love pesto, and I love making it with arugula. You’ll find a few recipes on my site with arugula pesto, like Creamy Skillet Tortellini with Arugula Pesto. And I make pesto with kale, too. Check out this recipe for Grilled Corn on the Cob with Kale Pesto.
Egg Sandwich with Arugula Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes
Typically, pesto is made with basil, but that can be a bit much for some in my home. So today, we’re going with arugula! Oh, and pine nuts are the standard go-to for pesto, but I used almonds. You could use almost anything: walnuts, pecans, pepitas, whatever.
Cook the egg for this sandwich to your liking. I’m not always down for a runny egg, and so I’ll fry mine til that yolk is HARD. Other days, I’m good with it a little runnier. So you do you when it comes to eggs.
The pesto is super-flavorful (helloooo, garlic!) and the roasted cherry tomatoes on top add beautiful color and a bit of sweetness. What a great combo: savory pesto plus those sweet tomatoes! Mmm!
I’ll say it again: this sandwich (I serve this one open-faced) is perfect for any meal of the day. I tend to eat the same things for breakfast during the week, but when the weekend hits, I love to make something a little different.
This Egg Sandwich with Arugula Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes hits the spot! If you like more traditional dishes for the first meal of the day, try my Easy Breakfast Migas dish, or maybe make my Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chip Granola served over yogurt.
Try something a little different for your next breakfast! Egg Sandwich with Arugula Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes is something you don’t want to miss out on!
