Think of this like a slightly spicy, super savory shakshuka. Even if you're not a fan of anchovies, we highly encourage including them in this recipe. Scout's honor—it won't taste like fish! The anchovies melt right into the tomatoes, and lend a super-savory flavor even a fish-hater would like.

Stuffed with a rich, lilac-colored blueberry ricotta, this French toast exactly what we crave when we’re dreaming of a sweet breakfast to go with our morning coffee. Sourdough is our bread of choice because it’s sturdy, and its earthy tang is a nice foil to the rich filling. That said, if you love brioche or challah French toast, feel free to experiment with those instead.

The toppings on these tostadas are our ideal toppings, but you can change them up however you’d like. Cook an over-easy egg instead or top with some sour cream. The best part is that these can be different every time you make them and still be so very good.
