Preparing the Sourdough Toast

Begin by lightly toasting a slice of sourdough bread to your desired level of crispiness. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on the bread for added flavor and moisture.

Poaching the Egg

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Create a whirlpool with a spoon and gently drop an egg into the center. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Assembling the Dish

Place the toast on a plate, and layer a small handful of arugula on top. Carefully place the poached egg over the arugula. Sprinkle the pumpkin and sunflower seeds over the egg, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
