Ingredients

Directions
1️⃣ Heat the Oven

2️⃣ Make the Toasty Base

- Add muffin cubes and toss until fully coated (no dry spots).
- Spread into the skillet(s) in an even layer.
3️⃣ Bake

- If it finishes before toppings are ready, rest the skillet on the stovetop.
4️⃣ Prep the Fresh Toppers
- Slice radish and avocado; toss avocado with lime juice.
- Dice red onion.
- Rinse and pat microgreens dry.
5️⃣ Fry the Eggs
- In a small pan, fry the remaining 2 eggs to your liking.
- Season with the remaining salt to taste.
6️⃣ Assemble
- Top the warm baked base with avocado, radish, red onion, microgreens, and a fried egg.
- Finish with everything bagel seasoning and—if you like—ginger dressing for brightness or sriracha for heat.
- Serve immediately.
