Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Salad

    Thinly slice the red onion and radishes. In a small bowl, combine them with a pinch of salt and cover with water. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of harvest wheat bread until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Whip the Ricotta

    In a bowl, whip the ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocado and mash it lightly with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the eggs and poach them for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasted bread. Add the mashed avocado on top, then drizzle with harissa, and add the piquillo peppers. Top with the pickled salad and finish with the poached eggs.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
