- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided (see note)
- 1/3 cup arugula (see note)
- Fresh lemon juice
- 1 slice toasted bread
- 1 poached or fried egg
- Crushed red pepper, optional
Instructions
- Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the minced garlic, Fry until golden and fragrant; about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with the goat cheese and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mash/stir the garlic into the goat cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining salt with the arugula and enough lemon juice to coat the arugula. Toss until combined.
- Assemble the toast. Spread the goat cheese then layer on the arugula and poached/fried egg. Top with crushed red pepper or black pepper if desired.
Notes
- Tips + Tricks: Whenever I’m at the market, I like to taste the arugula. Different varieties have more of a bite to them. For this I used a more mild arugula but it would work really well with the peppery varieties.
- If you are sensitive to salt, start with less and add more as desired.
