Make Breakfast Sandwiches Gourmet With One Italian Sauce

If you want to spice up your typical breakfast options, then tucking this savory sauce on top of your typical pile of meat, eggs, and cheese will send you straight to nirvana. Pesto sauce is often seen atop pasta or lunchtime sandwich options, but it adds a herbaceous, savory plus to any breakfast sandwich you can conjure to mind — a definite change of pace that will keep you happy and drooling every morning. It'll add a viscous texture to it as well, depending upon whether or not you desire aoili or a straight-up pesto experience. 

Not only will it sharpen up blah egg sandwiches by adding new notes of bitterness and herb-heaviness to it, it will also turn your average cheese sammie into something transcendent. One solid example of turning the Italian sauce into a breakfast staple is this recipe for a pesto prosciutto sandwich. Combining several Italian staples into a single bite, it's got pesto, prosciutto, an omelet, roasted tomatoes, and arugula. It's a rich daybreaker that will definitely open your eyes up.

There are dozens of creative ways to use pesto, and one of them is adding it to frozen breakfast sandwiches once they've been heated up. It elevates all the usual breakfast sandwich suspects, bringing out the spice of sausage, the fatty flavor of cheese, and the wholesomeness of eggs, all twisting and bending with the extra fat, greens, and nuttiness pesto provides. 

But your creativity doesn't have to stop there. You can make a fried egg sandwich with a layer of pesto, just like the one in that viral video. You can even make an avocado pesto sandwich, using a bagel as a piece of bread. The sky — and your imagination — are the limit here, and anything goes if you have the gumption, the right amount of pesto, and a dream. But, if you'd specifically like to learn how to make the pesto prosciutto sandwich, watch the video below.
