Ingredients

• 4 thick slices sourdough bread
• 2 large heirloom tomatoes
• 4 oz feta cheese
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup fresh sweet corn kernels
• 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano or basil
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. 1Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer for the eggs. Add a splash of vinegar if desired, then carefully lower in the eggs and poach 3–4 minutes for runny yolks; transfer to a paper towel.
2. 2While water heats, place the feta, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until light and creamy, scraping down sides once.
3. 3Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add a little olive oil and the sweet corn kernels; cook 2–3 minutes until lightly charred, then season with salt and set aside.
4. 4Toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden and crisp. Rub one side of each toast lightly with a cut garlic clove if you like extra savoriness.
5. 5Spread a generous layer of whipped feta on each warm toast.
6. 6Thickly slice the heirloom tomatoes and arrange overlapping on top of the feta; sprinkle with salt so they release a little juice into the cheese.
7. 7Scatter the charred corn over the tomatoes, then carefully place a soft-poached egg on each toast.
8. 8Drizzle everything with remaining olive oil, scatter fresh herbs, and finish with red pepper flakes and cracked black pepper.
9. 9Serve immediately while the toast is still crunchy and the egg yolk can be broken to create a rich sauce over the tomatoes and feta.
10. 10Pair with extra herbs and a squeeze of lemon at the table for brightness.
