Boursin Egg Toast Recipe

4.7 from 142 reviews

A deliciously simple and elegant breakfast toast featuring creamy Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese, perfectly cooked eggs, and fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes, all finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Toast

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter (divided)

For the Topping

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese
  • ½ cup arugula
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon of butter and spread it around the skillet until fully melted to prevent sticking and help toast the bread evenly.
  2. Toast the Bread: Place the sourdough slices in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip the slices and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes. Once toasted to your preference, remove the bread from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your desired doneness—whether sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked. This low heat ensures gentle cooking without burning the butter.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread 1 tablespoon of Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese on the top side of each toasted sourdough slice. Place one cooked egg on top of each slice. Add a generous layer of fresh arugula and scatter the quartered cherry tomatoes over the eggs. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Serve the Boursin Egg Toast immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh arugula and ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor contrast and freshness.
  • If you prefer, substitute sourdough with any crusty bread like ciabatta or multigrain.
  • Balsamic glaze adds a sweet tangy finish; regular balsamic vinegar can be used but reduce quantity to avoid excess liquid.
  • Adjust egg cooking time based on personal preference—soft yolks pair beautifully with creamy cheese.
  • For a richer toast, use unsalted butter and season after assembly to control salt levels.
