This is a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch option that is packed with flavor and nutrition. The toast is topped with a layer of whipped ricotta cheese, which is light, creamy, and slightly tangy. The homemade pesto, made from fresh basil leaves and arugula, adds a lovely herbaceous and nutty flavor to the dish. The soft scrambled eggs, which are cooked low and slow for a creamy and velvety texture, provide a lovely contrast to the crispiness of the toast. The microgreens, with their delicate and refreshing taste, add a lovely pop of color and flavor to the dish, making it a visually appealing and nutritious meal. The dish is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients, making it a versatile and delicious option for any occasion.
