Ingredients

Scale

Toast and Toppings

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese
  • ½ cup arugula
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter, divided
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon of butter and spread it around the skillet until melted.
  2. Toast Bread: Place the sourdough bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and toasty. Flip and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook Eggs: Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired level of doneness, whether sunny side up, over easy, or otherwise.
  4. Assemble Toast: Spread the top side of each toasted sourdough slice evenly with Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese. Place one cooked egg on top of each slice. Add fresh arugula and quartered cherry tomatoes over the eggs. Drizzle balsamic glaze on top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Serve the Boursin egg toast immediately while warm to enjoy the combination of creamy, savory, and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough with other artisan bread like ciabatta or multigrain if preferred.
  • Adjust egg doneness according to your preference.
  • For a vegan option, use vegan butter and egg substitutes; however, the cheese flavor will differ.
  • Balsamic glaze can be replaced with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar if glaze is unavailable.
  • Additional toppings like sliced avocado or cooked bacon can be added for extra flavor and texture.
