These baked eggs with pesto and spinach are an amazing simple savory breakfast or brunch! Homemade pesto is baked with spinach and eggs and served alone or with your favorite grain free or gluten free bread. Paleo, Whole30 and keto.
The pesto egg combination is no doubt SO delicious!
I decided to make a paleo friendly baked version if this combo, adding some extra greens and a little dairy free cream cheese.
The pesto is homemade and so easy to throw together in a food processor – it takes under 5 minutes!
Baking the eggs means less mess AND you can serve this for brunch in a pretty baking dish.
It’s great served alone or with your favorite gluten free or grain free bread. My sandwich bread or biscuits would be perfect.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft/runny.
