Description
This Gourmet Breakfast Toast Duo offers a perfect balance of savory and sweet with avocado-feta-egg toast and ricotta-berry-honey toast—ideal for brunch or a vibrant morning meal.
Ingredients
- Sourdough or Artisan Bread (thick sliced): 2 slices – The sturdy, flavorful base for both toasts.
- Avocado (ripe): 1 small – Mashed for creamy richness on the savory toast.
- Feta Cheese (crumbled): 2 tablespoons – Adds tang and contrast.
- Egg: 1 – Poached or soft-boiled for protein and richness.
- Olive Oil: 1 teaspoon – A light drizzle over the savory toast.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste – Enhances every layer.
- Ricotta Cheese (whole milk): 1/3 cup – Light, creamy base for the sweet toast.
- Mixed Berries (fresh): 1/3 cup – Blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries.
- Honey: 1 tablespoon – For natural sweetness and shine.
- Lemon Zest (optional): 1/2 teaspoon – Brightens the ricotta toast.
- Fresh Mint (optional): For garnish and a burst of freshness.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Toast the bread in a toaster or oven until golden and crispy.
- Combine Ingredients: Mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. If poaching or boiling the egg, start that now.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Poach egg in gently simmering water with a splash of vinegar, or soft-boil for 6 minutes and peel carefully.
- Assemble the Dish: For savory toast, spread mashed avocado on one slice of toast. Top with crumbled feta, the egg, and a drizzle of olive oil. For sweet toast, spread ricotta on the second slice, top with berries, drizzle with honey, and add lemon zest or mint if desired.
- Cook to Perfection: No additional cooking needed—just let the egg set or cool if boiled.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over both toasts. Crack fresh pepper over the avocado toast. Garnish sweet toast with extra berries or mint.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate both toasts side by side and enjoy immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor.
- Let berries reach room temperature for better sweetness.
- Toast bread until golden to avoid sogginess.
