Step-by-Step Instructions for Breakfast Tostadas

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans evenly over each tostada shell and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake tostadas in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted and shells are golden.
Cook eggs in a skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat until desired doneness, ideally sunny side up.
Assemble by topping each tostada with a cooked egg, diced tomatoes, avocado, green onions, and cilantro.
Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
