Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices artisan bread
- 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional toppings: chili flakes, fresh herbs
Instructions
- Toast the artisan bread slices until golden brown. You can use a toaster or a skillet with a little butter.
- While the bread toasts, prepare the egg. Heat the olive oil or butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook the egg to your preference. For a runny yolk, cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the surface of both warm toast slices. This creates a creamy base.
- Carefully place one cooked egg on top of each ricotta-covered toast slice.
- Season the egg and toast with salt and pepper.
- Add optional toppings like chili flakes or fresh herbs if you like. Serve this quick morning meal immediately.
Notes
- Using sourdough or a thick-cut artisan bread gives the best structure for this savory toast recipe.
- For a protein packed breakfast, you can use two eggs total, one per slice.
- If you want a gourmet toast upgrade, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta before adding the egg.
