# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in under 10 minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you need something substantial but don't have time to fuss.
  • The everything seasoning does all the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so you don't need a dozen toppings to make it taste incredible.
  • Tastes fancy enough for brunch with friends but simple enough to become your weekday go-to.
02 -
  • An avocado that feels rock hard will not soften enough in the time it takes to make toast, so learn to find the ones that yield just slightly to pressure.
  • Mashing the avocado with the lemon juice and oil right away prevents browning and distributes the flavors evenly, which changes everything.
03 -
  • Rub a cut garlic clove over the hot toast before spreading avocado for a subtle savory depth that elevates the whole thing.
  • Keep your avocados in the right stage of ripeness by storing them in the fridge once they're perfect, which buys you a day or two to use them without them going brown and mushy.
