Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the tofu block in half, lengthwise through the middle, making two blocks about 3/4-inch thick. Then slice the two blocks in half, this time through the center, making 4 triangular pieces of "tofu toast."
• Place the tofu in a single layer on the parchment. Spray the top with oil and bake until golden, crispy and slightly bubbling on the top, about 20 minutes.
• Take the tofu out of the oven, flip each piece over and spray with oil. Then return to the oven to cook for another 10 minutes. Let it cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• To serve, slather the tofu toast with the avocado and garlic powder. Sprinkle with the black pepper, red pepper flakes and layer on sprouts, radishes and hard-boiled egg if using.
• Store any leftover tofu toast in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or in a microwave for 1 minute.

• after all ingredients are mixed, place into ramekins or place whole mixture into pie crust. Top with pistachios and let chill for at least 5 hours.
