Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid soggy toast. Leave some chunks in the avocado for texture. Add lemon or lime juice to prevent browning. Toast bread just right to hold toppings without getting soggy. Customize toppings to your preference and dietary needs. Store mashed avocado with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
