Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Egg and Ricotta Toast:
1. Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet for this.
2. Prepare the Ricotta: In a small bowl, season the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well until combined.
3. Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, either sunny-side up or over-easy.
4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the seasoned ricotta generously over each slice of toasted bread.
5. Top with Eggs: Carefully place a cooked egg on top of each ricotta-covered toast.
6. Garnish: Drizzle a little more olive oil over the eggs and sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and any optional toppings you wish to use.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Egg and Ricotta Toast while the bread is warm and the eggs are freshly cooked.
