For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a dollop of ricotta cheese on top before serving. Serve on toast with a few slices of crispy bacon on the side. Use a high-quality pesto for the best flavor. Freshly made is ideal, but a good store-bought pesto will also work well. Adjust the amount of pesto to your preference. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste. For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere cheese instead of Cheddar.
