FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Boursin?
Yes, you can substitute with any creamy herbed cheese like cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs or a soft goat cheese for a similar flavor.
How do I prevent the eggs from overcooking?
Cook the eggs on low heat and watch them closely. Remove them from the heat just before they reach your preferred doneness since they will continue to cook slightly off the heat.

Ingredients
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon butter (divided)
Eggs and Toppings
- 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
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon of butter and spread it around the skillet until melted to ensure the bread toasts evenly without sticking.
- Toast the bread: Place the sourdough slices in the skillet and toast one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip the bread and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the eggs: Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness – whether sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked.
- Assemble the toast: Spread 1 tablespoon of Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese evenly over the top side of each sourdough slice. Place the cooked eggs on top of the cheese spread.
- Add toppings: Layer the arugula and quartered cherry tomatoes over the eggs, then drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the Boursin Egg Toast immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for toasting the bread.
- You can customize the recipe by adding avocado slices, cooked bacon, or fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
- If you prefer, use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs and bread from sticking.
- Use fresh balsamic glaze for a sweeter and richer drizzle, or substitute with balsamic reduction.
