Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

Instructions
- Begin by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crisp.
- While the bread toasts, drizzle a small amount of olive oil into a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook them to your preference—either sunny-side up, for a creamy yolk, or scramble them for a softer texture.
- Once the toast is ready, spread the ricotta cheese evenly over each slice.
- Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the ricotta layer.
- Season your dish with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful breakfast!
Notes
Use high-quality ricotta for a creamier texture—fresh cheese makes a noticeable difference! Consider adding sautéed greens for extra nutrients.
