Description
At its core, this dish is a sophisticated upgrade to the classic breakfast sandwich. Instead of heavy buns or processed cheese, we use high-quality sourdough and fresh ingredients to create a layered masterpiece. The Savory Pesto Egg Toast with Hot Honey relies on the contrast of temperatures and textures. You have the crunch of the toasted bread, the silkiness of the egg yolk, and the sticky, spicy flow of the hot honey.
