From mini pancakes cereal to tortilla wraps, we can always count on TikTok to rock our world with delicious breakfast trends. The latest food craze on this social media platform comes in the shape of pesto eggs, and they’re incredibly easy to make.
Pesto eggs became a viral sensation thanks to the registered dietician Amy Wilichowski, who goes by @amywilichowski on TikTok. The viral video that shows her making pesto eggs was viewed by almost ten million people, and many fellow TikTokers tried to replicate her recipe.

As Wilichowski explains in the viral clip, you can make pesto eggs in the comfort of your home by replacing cooking oil with a few spoons of basil pesto. You can use this trick to prepare eggs in all sorts of different ways, and it works with everything from fried and scrambled eggs to a sunny-side-up egg.
Pesto eggs are not exactly a novelty, but Wilichowski put them back on the map and turned them into a viral sensation. She used her eggs to create a tasty toast topped with ricotta cheese and avocado, but the options are pretty much endless, and here are some of the very best we found on TikTok.
