Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is Pinterest Curiosities!
I feel like I haven’t posted a new recipe in ages (probably because I haven’t), but hopefully that will change soon-ish? It’s crunch time for studying and trying to juggle that between work and replacing my lost driver’s license/passport (…) and having some semblance of a life (kindasorta) has been rough. I feel like I’m constantly leading some sort of a double life! :P
You’ll have to forgive how simple this is, but yay for quick and easy snacks/breakfasts?! There’s all kinds of toast out there these days–avocado toast, sweet potato toast…I figured I’d go with it and make something with things I already had lying around in my apartment. Hooray for 5 ingredients + under recipes!
When I was moving out of Please Save A Cat last year (it’s hard to believe it was only a little over a year ago!?), Linda gave me a Nordic Ware 2-Cavity Egg Poacher (not an affiliate link) that I recently re-discovered in my cabinets, so I figured I’d give it a try! Tis a game-changer. I know poaching eggs isn’t all that difficult, but this makes it even easier!
I also had some pesto left that I got from The French Farm during #CookoutWeek, so I figured I’d put that to good use as well!
Truffle Pesto Poached Egg Toast
Truffle Pesto Poached Egg Toast
Ingredients
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- 1 tbsp La Favorita Pesto Genovese with Truffles
- 2 eggs poached
- sprinkle of desired spices*
Instructions
- Toast the bread in a toaster and spread pesto in an even layer on one side.
Nordic Ware Egg Poacher method
- If you have a Nordic Ware Egg Poacher, crack the eggs in, stab the yolks with a fork and add 1 tsp of water to each. Then close the lid and microwave for 45-60 seconds!
"Legit" Egg Poaching Method
- Heat up a pan with steadily simmering water and crack an egg into the pan. Let cook for ~3 minutes and remove with a spoon.
- Top the toast with the poached eggs and sprinkle with spices.
- Serve hot!
Notes
End-of-Week-ish Recap!
- I’ve been bitten by the travel bug, but can’t go anywhere anytime soon (sigh)…so I made a travel bucket list! Let me know what places I should add onto there!
- So many parts of life involve negotiating–whether or not you realize that it’s even happening. Check out my review of The Only Negotiating Guide You’ll Ever Need!
- Have you ever poached an egg?
- What do you like to put on your toast?

I love eating truffles, I was obsessed with this super tasty truffle salt until they discontinued it. So this truffle pesto poached egg toast is right up my alley. Good luck on studying, I’m so proud of you :) I would love to try this nori ware egg poacher. My poached eggs never turn out right.
Author
So sad that they discontinued that salt! I hope you get a chance to try out this toast! :]
+ thank you! I really hope it turns out okay with this exam! :P
pesto + truffles with eggs sounds like a heavenly combo! i want a pizza with this combo now!
Author
Ahh, a pizza with this sounds so good right now!
Ooooh I love pesto – but I’ve never had pesto with truffle in it before! Yum!
