Romesco Toast with Jammy Eggs
Description
Romesco Toast with Jammy Eggs starts with slices of sourdough bread toasted to provide a sturdy base. The toasts are spread with romesco sauce, a blend typically made of roasted red peppers, nuts, and spices, lending a smoky and slightly sweet flavor. Eggs cooked to a jammy soft-boiled stage have tender whites and barely set but creamy yolks, which are peeled and gently mashed on top of the sauce-coated toast.
The texture contrasts between the crunchy sourdough, smooth romesco sauce, and creamy eggs create a satisfying bite. Black pepper or red pepper flakes add a touch of bite, while arugula or microgreens provide fresh, peppery notes when used as garnish.
This recipe is designed for two servings but can be scaled as needed. It is ideal for a flavorful breakfast or brunch and can be adapted with different breads or garnish preferences.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 2 sourdough bread large slices
- 3-4 Tablespoon romesco sauce divided
- salt
- black pepper
- arugula optional, or microgreens, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the romesco sauce if you don't already have it made.
- Eggs: Heat a large saucepan with water (enough to cover the eggs once they're added) and bring to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon and boil for 6 1/2 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and topping it off with water. Remove the eggs and place them directly in the ice bath for at least 2-3 minutes.
- Toast the slices of sourdough bread, then spread 1-2 tablespoons of romesco sauce on each slice.
- Peel the eggs and slice them in half. Place the egg slices on top of the toast, and use a fork to gently smash the eggs across the top of the slice.
- Top with arugula or microgreens, if desired, and serve immediately with freshly ground black pepper or red pepper flakes.
Notes
- Recipe yields two servings but can be easily adjusted for more or fewer portions.
