Instructions
1
Whisk the 1 egg and 1 tablespoon pesto in a bowl.
2
Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the bottom.
3
Allow the egg to cook for one minute, using a rubber spatula to gently pull the egg away from the sides of the pan so the rest of the liquid egg can continue to coat the pan and cook.
4
Using the spatula, fold the outside parts of the omelet inwards into a square shape (to fit the bread).
5
Remove the square-shaped omelet to a plate, place a slice of bread topped with 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese, cheese side up, in the pan. Top with the omelette, another 2 tablespoons of cheese and slice of bread. Cook for 1 minute on each side until golden.
6
Repeat steps to make all 4 sandwiches.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast the Bread First 🍞Lightly toast your whole wheat bread before assembling to create a barrier that prevents sogginess from the pesto and cheese while adding a subtle crunch.
- Cook Eggs to Runny Yolk 🍳Fry eggs sunny-side up or over-easy so the yolk stays creamy and acts as a natural sauce, creating a luxurious texture when it melts with the warm cheese.
- Use Fresh Pesto for Maximum Flavor 🌿Spread pesto generously on one side of the bread before cooking, as heat will mellow its flavors—fresh pesto ensures bold, vibrant taste that shines through.
- Butter the Outside, Not Inside 🧈Apply oil or butter only to the exterior bread surfaces for griddling, keeping the inside dry so pesto and cheese flavors remain concentrated rather than diluted.
- Medium Heat and Covered Cooking ⏱️Cook on medium heat and cover the pan with a lid for the final minute to allow the cheese to melt completely while keeping the bread from over-browning.
