What’s In This Ricotta and Egg Toast Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

Sandwich Bread – use a gluten free bread if you can’t eat wheat. I like to make my own bread, and they have some great artisan bread gluten free mixes out there too!
Extra virgin olive oil
Ricotta Cheese – this creamy and irresistible ricotta cheese is a fantastic base layer for this toast! I’ll also include a vegan version in the recipe card below if you don’t eat dairy… but if you DO eat dairy I’d highly recommend this delicious whole milk ricotta.
Spinach and Garlic
Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
Fried Egg – we get our eggs from a farm down the road, if you can support a local farmer, we’d recommend it!

How Do I Make Egg Ricotta Toast with Garlic?

Sauté the spinach: in a small pan, add the olive oil and chopped garlic, sauté over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add spinach, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until kale has wilted and is a deep green color. When spinach has wilted, move it to one side of the pan, and crack an egg in the unused pan space. Allow egg to fry for about 6-7 mintues until the egg white has firmed and there is no clear egg white left.
Toast the bread under the broiler for 3 minutes per side, or in a toaster. Spread each toast piece with ricotta in a thick layer.
Add the sautéed spinach and crushed chili flakes. Top with an egg and fresh parsley.
Add an optional sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy!
