"My daughters told me about the new Pesto Eggs TikTok trend circulating around.... started by Amy Wilichowski! Essentially, the idea is that you replace whatever cooking oil or butter you would usually use to fry an egg with pesto. Why in earth didn’t I think of this??? Course this was right up my alley and I loved it just as much as I thought I would!"
