Our favorite TikTok recipes and food hacks
1. Pesto eggs
The brunch game completely changed upon the news of pesto eggs on TikTok. Emily Wilichowski (@amywilichowski) wowed her audience and garnered viral status for substituting oil or butter in her eggs for pesto.
"You can do fried eggs, sunny side up eggs, or scrambled and then the oil in the pesto will stop the eggs sticking in the pan," she revealed.
Upon completing the eggs, she places them atop of toast with ricotta, avocado, honey and red pepper flakes. YUM! Why settle for an ordinary omelet when it can be extraordinary? Now, all you need to do is pair your pesto eggs with a mimosa and you're good to go!

2. Nature's Cereal
Once our favorite vegan, Lizzo, attempted her own version of Nature's Cereal—a combination of pomegranate seeds, coconut water and a fistful of blackberries, strawberries and blueberries—a breakfast of champions was born. Healthy, tasty and eye-catching to boot.
See how the OG, @natures_food caught the attention of Lizzo, and in turn, the entire platform.
