- 2 large eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the 4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread to your desired level of crispiness to provide a sturdy base for your toppings.
- Prepare Savory Toasts: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over two of the toasted bread slices. On top of the avocado, add one cooked egg per slice, whether fried, scrambled, or poached as you prefer. Sprinkle with chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens if using.
- Prepare Sweet Toasts: Spread the ricotta or cream cheese evenly on the remaining two toasted bread slices. On one slice, layer the tomato slices and season lightly with salt and pepper. On the other, arrange the banana slices and drizzle honey over the top for sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: Present the toasts while the bread is still crisp and the toppings fresh to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
