| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, mix together the chopped cilantro, finely chopped celery, salsa, ranch dressing, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. |
| 2 | Poach the eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon and carefully slide the eggs into the water, one at a time. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs or longer for firmer yolks. |

| 4 | Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. |
| 5 | To assemble, place a slice of toast on each plate. Spoon the cilantro mixture over the toast. |
| 6 | Top each toast with a poached egg. |
| 7 | If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor. |
| 8 | Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious cilantro eggs! |
