Ingredients
Scale
For Toasting
- 3 slices artisan sourdough bread (thick-cut)
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for toasting)
For Egg
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 tsp butter (for frying)
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
For Spreads and Toppings
- 2 tbsp ricotta or cream cheese
- 2 tbsp dark berry preserves
- 1 tbsp crushed nuts (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp orange marmalade
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Toast each slice of thick-cut artisan sourdough bread until they turn golden and crispy on both sides.
- Fry the egg: In the same skillet, add 1 tsp butter. Crack the egg gently and cook sunny-side-up until the egg whites are fully set but the yolk remains runny.
- Assemble egg toast: Place the fried egg on the first toasted slice of sourdough. Season with a pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper to enhance the savory flavor.
- Prepare ricotta berry toast: Spread ricotta or cream cheese evenly over the second slice of toast. Top with dark berry preserves and sprinkle crushed nuts for added texture and sweetness.
- Prepare marmalade toast: Generously spread orange marmalade on the third slice of toasted sourdough, delivering bright and tangy notes.
- Serve: Arrange all three prepared toasts on a plate and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the contrasting flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use thick-cut sourdough bread for best texture and sturdiness.
- Substitute nuts with seeds for a nut-free option.
- Adjust the cooking time of the egg if you prefer firmer yolks.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispiness of toast.
- You can replace ricotta with cream cheese or a vegan alternative.
