Notes
- The avocado can be mashed as smooth or as chunky as you'd like it. Avocado oxidizes (turns brown) quickly, so mashed avocado should be eaten right away.
- If using only half of the avocado, leave the pit in the half that will be refrigerated for later use. This will help keep it fresh a bit longer.
- Optional Avocado Toast Toppings:
- Nutrition calculated without olive oil.
- everything bagel seasoning
- fried egg and crispy bacon bits
- lox, capers, minced onion
- tomato, bocconcini, basil, balsamic glaze
- sriracha and honey
