1: Spread 4 to 6 tablespoons ricotta (however much you like). Layer on pears, drizzle with honey, then top with pistachios.
2: Layer on fresh mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Top with sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle with chives.
3: Top with avocado, sardines and basil.
4. Arrange asparagus on top. Mix 2 tablespoons each mustard and sour cream. Drizzle on asparagus. Cook egg according to personal preference and then place on top. Drizzle with more sauce if desired.
