Can You Put Pesto in an Omelette? (Yes—And Here’s Why You Should)

Simple ways to upgrade your eggs with bold sauces and flavor-packed fillings


Excerpt:

Eggs are the ultimate canvas for flavor—and adding sauces like pesto, chimichurri, or even a spicy Jamaican-inspired blend can transform your omelette into something truly gourmet. Let’s answer some top questions about pesto, eggs, and what chefs like Gordon Ramsay do to keep things exciting.

 

Can You Put Pesto in an Omelette?

Yes, and it’s delicious. Adding pesto to your omelette gives it a rich, herby burst of flavor that pairs beautifully with eggs, cheese, and vegetables. Whether you mix a spoonful directly into your whisked eggs or drizzle it inside before folding, pesto can instantly elevate your breakfast.

You can use homemade pesto—but if you’re short on time, our Sauce Pantry Pesto sachets make it super simple. Just shake it up and spoon it in.

 


Does Pesto Go Well with Eggs?

Absolutely. Eggs are creamy and mild, while pesto is vibrant and herbaceous—it’s a perfect pairing. It also works well in:

  • Scrambled eggs with pesto swirled in

  • Fried eggs with pesto drizzled over toast

  • Baked egg cups with pesto and cheese

Try our Pesto Omelet with Fresh Vegetables for an easy way to try it out.

What Does Gordon Ramsay Put in His Omelette?

Gordon Ramsay keeps it simple but elevated. His classic omelette often includes:

  • Fine herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon)

  • Salt and pepper

  • Butter for cooking

  • Occasionally crème fraîche or cheese for creaminess

To make your version a bit more adventurous, try folding in Chimichurri Sauce or topping it with our Avocado Lime Ranch.


What Is the Famous Jamaican Sauce?

That would be Jerk Sauce—a bold, spicy, and smoky blend of scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, garlic, and more. It’s iconic in Jamaican cuisine, especially for chicken, pork, and even tofu.

At Sauce Pantry, we’re working on a Jamaican-inspired flavor drop that captures that heat and depth—perfect for pairing with grilled meats or spicing up your eggs. Stay tuned!

Final Thoughts: Say Goodbye to Boring Eggs

With just one sauce, you can take your omelette from basic to brilliant. Whether it’s herby pesto, spicy mango, or zesty chimichurri, the right flavor boost is just a shake away.
