Tips & Variations

• Use any fresh greens you prefer if you don’t have arugula, such as baby spinach or watercress.
• Try adding sliced avocado for extra creaminess and nutrition.
• Swap balsamic glaze for a light drizzle of hot sauce if you like a bit of heat.
• For a vegetarian protein boost, add a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds on top.

Storage

This toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, store the toasted bread and cooked eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat the eggs gently in a skillet or microwave, then assemble with fresh toppings before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream cheese instead of Boursin?

Yes, regular cream cheese can be used, but Boursin adds a unique garlic and herb flavor that enhances the toast.

How do I cook the eggs if I want them over-easy?

Cook the eggs on low heat until the whites are set, then gently flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute for over-easy eggs.

Toast

• 2 slices sourdough bread

Eggs

• 2 eggs

Toppings

• 2 tablespoons Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese
• ½ cup arugula
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

Instructions

1. Prepare the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly around the skillet until fully melted.

4. Assemble the toast: Spread 1 tablespoon of Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese evenly on the top side of each slice of toasted sourdough. Place the cooked eggs on top of the cheese, then layer with fresh arugula and quartered cherry tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

• Use fresh, high-quality sourdough for best texture and flavor.
• You can substitute arugula with baby spinach or mixed greens if preferred.
• Adjust egg cooking times to your personal preference.
• Balsamic glaze adds tangy sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet version.
• For a dairy-free version, consider vegan cheese substitutes and butter alternatives.
