FAQ’s

What goes well with pesto?

There’s loads of dishes that go well with pesto, from savoury dinner dishes to lunchtime treats. Some stand out favourites are eggs, sandwiches, appetisers, pasta and dips. Cheese also works well with pesto, so add some extra parmesan to your pesto eggs to amp up the flavour even more. You can even get creative with pesto pastas or chicken. 

What to do with pesto and eggs?

Besides adding the pesto to the saucepan as the eggs cook, you can also add pesto to eggs in other creative ways. Add it to your toast as a delicious spread with the eggs popped on top. You can also mix it with avocado for a creamy egg side, or mix it with scrambled eggs between two slices of bread for a unique take on the humble egg sandwich.

What is pesto made out of?

Pesto is made out of basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. To make it you can give yourself a workout by crushing it all together in a mortar and pestle, or save your energy and whizz it up in the blender. However you make it, pesto is a great addition to your next breakfast, lunch or dinner!
