Things I’ve Learned
To avoid browning, add a splash of lemon juice to the avocado mix. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to one day. When reheating, use a toaster to preserve the toast’s crispness. You can prepare the avocado mix a few hours ahead but assemble the toast right before serving for the best texture.
