Description
A simple yet elegant toast topped with creamy ricotta, perfectly cooked eggs, and a touch of seasoning, ideal for a quick breakfast or light meal.
Ingredients
Toast
- 2 slices bread (sourdough or whole-grain recommended)
Egg and Ricotta Topping
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chili flakes or herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp to create a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread 1/2 cup of creamy ricotta cheese over each slice of toasted bread, ensuring a smooth layer.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness, such as sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled.
- Assemble: Place the cooked eggs on top of the ricotta-covered toast slices carefully to avoid breaking the yolks.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes or fresh herbs over the assembled toast for added flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and the toast is crisp for the best eating experience.
Notes
- Use sourdough or whole-grain bread for best results and added texture.
- Add a drizzle of honey on top of the ricotta before adding eggs for a sweet twist.
- For extra flavor, top with sliced avocado or fresh tomatoes.
