Egg
The egg is the heart of this dish, providing a luxurious richness that ties all the elements together. You may prefer a soft, yielding center that gently coats your palate.

Tomatoes
Sliced ripe tomatoes bring a welcome burst of juicy sweetness to the ensemble. Their natural acidity provides a crucial balance to the richness of the egg.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST PESTO EGG IN THE HOLE BAGEL
Achieving the perfect Pesto Egg in the Hole Bagel is easier than you think with these expert tips:
Choose the Right Pan
For effortless flipping and a clean presentation, always use a nonstick skillet. This ensures the egg slides out smoothly without sticking or tearing.
Pre-Toast for Perfection
A light toast of the bagel before adding the egg is a game-changer. This subtle step enhances the bagel’s inherent crunch, creating a delightful textural contrast with the soft egg and creamy pesto.
Cover for Even Cooking
To ensure the egg sets beautifully without over-browning the bottom, cover the skillet while cooking. This technique creates a steamy environment. It helps the egg cook through evenly. You get a perfectly cooked yolk and set whites.
