What’s In This Ricotta and Egg Toast Recipe?

See 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?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the sautéed spinach and crushed chili flakes. Top with an egg and fresh parsley.
  4. Add an optional sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy!
