Notes
- Storage: To store leftovers, keep the avocado mash in an airtight container. Add a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to minimize browning.
- Freezing: While it’s not ideal, you can freeze mashed avocado. Just make sure to add lemon juice and store in a freezer-safe container.
- Pairing: Enjoy this toast with a fresh salad, or pair it with a smoothie for a refreshing meal.
- Experiment: Try adding different spices or herbs to your avocado mash. Cilantro, dill, and even garlic powder can add fantastic flavor.
- Serving Variety: Switch up your bread choice! Try sourdough, rye, or even a gluten-free option for a different taste.
