Notes
Tips and Tricks
Ripeness Matters: Ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe for easy mashing and the best flavor. It should feel slightly soft but not mushy when gently pressed.
Add Toppings: Customize your avocado toast with additional toppings like sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or a poached egg for extra protein.
Bread Choice: While sourdough adds a delightful tang and crunch, any sturdy bread works well. Wholegrain or rye are also great options.
Make It Creamier: For an ultra-creamy texture, mix in a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of tahini with the mashed avocado.
