Tips and ideas

• I strongly recommend adding a poached egg on top of the avocado toast for added protein.
• Customize your toast with different toppings. For extra flavor, add roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, or sun-dried tomatoes.
• For the creamiest texture, use ripe avocados. You can tell if an avocado is ripe by gently pressing it—it should yield slightly to pressure.
• You can also choose gluten-free bread. It will not affect the taste significantly.
• Drizzle a little balsamic glaze on top for sweetness and acidity.
