TIPS FOR AVOCADO TOAST WITH TOMATOES
- Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavour.
- If you prefer a smoother avocado spread, add olive oil and mash it until creamy.
- Toast the bread just before assembling to maintain crispness.
VARIATIONS
- Add a poached egg on top for additional protein.
- Include a handful of fresh spinach leaves under the avocado for extra greens.
- For a citrusy twist, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the avocado before adding the tomatoes.
- If you like more heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of hot sauce.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Avocado toast is best eaten fresh, but you can prepare the mashed avocado beforehand. Store it in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning, and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Freezer: Freezing avocado toast is not recommended, as the texture of the bread and avocado changes after thawing.
