Description
A delightful breakfast toast featuring creamy ricotta and perfectly cooked eggs on crusty bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or French baguette)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup creamy ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
- Fresh herbs (basil or chives, chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Toast the bread slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Cook the eggs in the same skillet. Fry them to your preference or poach by swirling water with vinegar and gently adding the eggs; cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Spread a generous layer of ricotta on each toasted slice of bread. Top with the cooked egg and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and optionally add lemon zest or red pepper flakes for extra flavor before serving.
Notes
For a plant-based option, substitute eggs with tofu scramble. Ensure to use fresh bread for the best texture.
