FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I prepare the avocado toast in advance?
Better not: avocado tends to oxidize and the eggs lose their creaminess. However, you can toast the bread in advance and prepare the eggs just before serving.
What bread is best to use for avocado toast?
Multigrain whole wheat bread is ideal because it’s rustic and rich in fiber, but you can also use rye bread, seed bread, or simple homemade bread.
How to prevent the avocado from browning?
Just sprinkle it with a few drops of lemon or lime juice right after cutting it. This way, it will keep its bright green color longer.
Can I substitute the spreadable cheese?
Yes, you can use ricotta, fresh goat cheese, or a thin layer of Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
