Preparation
Step 1
Add the cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, balsamic, and a good pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor. Process for about a minute until relatively smooth (some small pieces of tomato are fine), scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times if necessary. With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil and process until well incorporated. Add the water one tablespoon at a time until the spread is smooth and spreadable. Season with extra salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Briefly set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering (but not smoking!), add the zucchini, summer squash, a large pinch of salt, and crushed red pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, or until the squash is just tender and browned in spots. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm while you cook the eggs.
Step 3
Poach or fry the eggs, depending on your preference.
Step 4
While the eggs are cooking, toast (or grill!) the bread.
Step 5
Assembly the toasts: Spread each piece of toast with a thick layer of sun-dried tomato white bean spread. Top with cooked squash and an egg. Garnish with chives and extra salt and fresh ground pepper if you like, and serve immediately.
