  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

For the Toast and Toppings

  • 2 slices white bread
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup fresh arugula
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp oregano

For the Poached Eggs

  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Roast Cherry Tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and oregano in a small baking dish. Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until tomatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  2. Poach Eggs: Crack each egg into a fine mesh strainer to remove the excess watery white. Bring several inches of water to a light boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for 4 minutes for a soft white with runny yolk or 5-6 minutes for firmer poached eggs. Carefully remove eggs with a slotted spoon.
  3. Toast Bread and Assemble: Toast the slices of bread until golden brown using a toaster or oven. Spread each slice generously with cottage cheese. Top the cottage cheese with the roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh arugula. Place a poached egg on top of each assembled toast. Season with salt and pepper to your preference and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Removing excess watery egg whites before poaching helps achieve a neat egg shape and tender texture.
  • Adjust roasting time for tomatoes depending on preferred softness and caramelization.
  • Use fresh, high-quality eggs for best poaching results.
  • Optionally, sprinkle some chili flakes or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
