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.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Toast

  • 2 slices bread

Eggs

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes or herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Toast the bread slices until they turn golden brown and crispy to create a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Spread ricotta cheese: Evenly spread half a cup of creamy ricotta cheese over each slice of toasted bread, ensuring smooth coverage.
  3. Cook the eggs: Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness — sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled.
  4. Assemble the toast: Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the ricotta-covered toast slices.
  5. Season and garnish: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and optionally chili flakes or fresh herbs over the eggs to add flavor and a touch of heat if desired.
  6. Serve immediately: Serve the egg and ricotta toast right away to enjoy the creamy, warm, and crisp combination at its best.

Notes

  • Use sourdough or whole-grain bread for best results, adding texture and flavor.
  • Add honey on top for a delightful sweet twist that pairs well with ricotta.
  • Top with sliced avocado or fresh tomatoes for extra nutrition and taste variety.
