Description
This Easy 6-Ingredient Egg and Ricotta Toast is a quick and delicious breakfast option that combines creamy ricotta with perfectly cooked eggs on crispy sourdough bread, garnished with fresh chives.
Ingredients
Scale
1/4 tsp coarse salt
4 large eggs
1 tbsp chives (finely chopped for even flavor distribution)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold for this)
2 slices sourdough bread (toasted until golden brown)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred for creaminess)
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with coarse salt. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the sourdough bread until golden brown.
- Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese on each slice of toasted bread.
- Carefully place a cooked egg on top of each ricotta-covered toast.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Notes
Feel free to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or drizzle some olive oil for extra richness.
