TIPS
- Toast Just Right: Lightly toasting ensures a crisp base that won’t become soggy under the avocado.
- Perfect Avocado Ripeness: Use a ripe avocado; it should mash easily but retain some texture.
- Pat Tomato Dry: Gently dab tomato slices to reduce excess moisture and prevent sogginess.
- Even Spread: Spread the avocado on the edges to help the tomato grip and stay in place.
- Garnish Smart: Use small garnishes like chilli flakes or basil to lift the flavours without overwhelming.
VARIATIONS
- Extra Protein: Add a poached egg or sliced boiled egg on top for more protein.
- Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle with crumbled feta, goat cheese or parmesan after assembling.
- Protein‑Rich: Add thin slices of smoked salmon, turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon substitute.
- Spicy Version: Spread a thin layer of chilli jam or sriracha under the avocado before adding tomato.
- Herbal Swap: Enhance flavour with chopped cilantro, parsley or dill instead of basil.
- Open‑Face Salad: Add mixed salad leaves or sprouts between the avocado and tomato for extra crunch.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Assemble just before eating, and storage causes sogginess. Toast muffins and refrigerate separately for up to 24 hours.
- Advance Prepare: Toast muffins and mash avocado in advance and assemble together at serving time.
- Batch Prepare Tip: Prepare the avocado mash and toast muffins in one session and layer just before eating for freshness.
- Avoid Freezing: Do not freeze assembled sandwiches, because the texture degrades once thawed.
- On‑The‑Go Idea: Wrap loosely in foil to keep toast crisp while travelling and add lemon juice to the avocado to prevent it from browning.
