Serving Variations
Serve warm on crusty bread or your favorite toast. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra zing. This dish pairs nicely with a simple green salad or a chilled white wine for a light, elegant meal.
Leftover Storage Guide
For best results, prepare and consume immediately as the avocado can brown and the toast may lose its crispness. If you need to store leftovers, keep components separate and assemble just before eating. Store avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice to slow browning.
