Tips for the Best Avocado Toast:
Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. If you like extra crunch, add toppings like toasted seeds, feta cheese, or cherry tomatoes. For a more flavorful twist, try a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Enjoy your avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a balanced meal!
