# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than brewing a second cup of coffee, yet feels intentional and nourishing.
  • The creamy avocado against crispy toast creates a textural contrast that somehow satisfies even on mornings when you're not sure what you want.
  • It adapts to whatever's in your fridge, so it never feels like the same breakfast twice.
02 -
  • Buy avocados a day or two before you plan to use them, not on the same day, unless you're selecting one that's already soft to the touch.
  • The lemon juice is non-negotiable if you're making this ahead or eating it slowly, as it's the difference between vibrant green and sad brown within minutes.
03 -
  • Rubbing your warm toast with a cut garlic clove before adding avocado introduces a subtle savory note that deepens the whole experience without being obvious.
  • If you're making this for guests, prepare the avocado mixture in advance but spread it only right before serving, keeping the toast warm and ready.
