Egg and Ricotta Toast is a simple yet satisfying meal that pairs creamy ricotta cheese and a perfectly cooked egg on top of crispy toast. With customizable toppings and minimal ingredients, it’s ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a quick lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of sturdy bread (sourdough, multigrain, or artisan)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for toasting and cooking eggs)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, honey, arugula, lemon zest, avocado

Instructions

  1. Toast bread slices until golden and crisp. Brush lightly with olive oil before toasting for extra flavor.
  2. While bread toasts, cook eggs to your preference—fried, poached, soft-boiled, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese on the warm toast.
  4. Top each toast with a cooked egg.
  5. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, extra salt and pepper, and any desired toppings such as chili flakes, fresh herbs, or lemon zest.
  6. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Drizzle honey on top for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Add smashed avocado under the ricotta for more richness.
  • Top with arugula and a squeeze of lemon for freshness.
  • Best served fresh, but components like eggs and toast can be prepped ahead.
  • Store leftover ricotta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
