4.7 from 99 reviews

A savory and delightful breakfast or brunch recipe combining crispy sourdough toast, creamy Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese, perfectly cooked eggs, peppery arugula, and fresh cherry tomatoes, finished with a sweet balsamic glaze drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Butter

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

Eggs & Cheese

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese

Vegetables & Garnishes

  • ½ cup arugula
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add ½ tablespoon of butter. Spread it around the skillet until melted to prevent sticking and prepare for toasting.
  2. Toast the bread: Add the sourdough slices to the skillet. Cook one side for 2-3 minutes until golden and toasty, then flip and brown the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the eggs: Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness—sunny side up, over easy, or any preferred style.
  4. Assemble the toast: Spread 1 tablespoon of Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese evenly over the top side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place a cooked egg on top of each. Layer with fresh arugula and quartered cherry tomatoes.
  5. Finish and serve: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled toasts, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh arugula for a peppery flavor that balances the creamy cheese and rich eggs.
  • Balsamic glaze adds a sweet tangy finish but can be omitted or substituted with balsamic vinegar reduction.
  • Cooking eggs on low heat helps achieve tender whites without burning.
  • Sourdough bread is preferred for its sturdy texture that holds toppings well, but any rustic bread can be used.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste, especially if your Boursin cheese is already salted.
