# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together faster than waiting for coffee to brew, and keeps you full without feeling weighed down.
  • The creamy avocado against crunchy toast is one of those textures that never gets old, no matter how many times you make it.
02 -
  • If your avocado is too firm, it won't mash smoothly and you'll end up with hard chunks, so give it a day or two on the counter to ripen first.
  • Rubbing the toasted bread with a cut garlic clove before spreading the avocado adds a subtle savory note that makes the whole thing taste more intentional.
03 -
  • Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top right before eating instead of mixing it all into the mash, the bursts of salt make every bite more interesting.
  • Use the ripest avocado you can find, the creamier it is, the less work you have to do and the better it tastes.
