Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients & Toast Bread

   Gather all ingredients. Toast the two slices of French bread until golden and crisp.

   Time: PT5M

2. Heat Skillet and Add Pesto

   Place a non‑stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp pesto and spread it evenly, letting it warm for about 1‑2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly fluid.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

3. Cook the Eggs

   Crack the two eggs into the pesto‑coated skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook sunny‑side up for 4‑5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium

4. Blister Cherry Tomatoes

   Push the cooked eggs to one side (or remove them temporarily). Add 1 tsp olive oil to the empty side of the skillet, then add the whole cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, increase heat to medium‑high, and toss for 3‑4 minutes until the skins blister and the tomatoes soften.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑high

5. Assemble the Toasts

   Spread 2 Tbsp ricotta on each toasted slice. On the first slice, drizzle honey, sprinkle extra red pepper flakes, and place one pesto‑fried egg on top. On the second slice, arrange the blistered cherry tomatoes, drizzle balsamic glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, and top with the second egg.

   Time: PT3M

6. Serve

   Plate the two toasts side by side, season with additional salt or pepper if desired, and enjoy immediately.

   Time: PT2M
