Substitutions

Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Bread

Toast the bread until golden and crisp.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

How to Store Leftovers

Avocado Egg Toast is best assembled fresh. Refrigerate a cooked egg in a covered container and keep any avocado mixture tightly covered with minimal air exposure; toast fresh bread when you are ready to eat.

How to Reheat

Toast fresh bread instead of reheating an assembled slice. Warm the cooked egg briefly over low heat if desired, then add the avocado after the toast and egg are ready.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using bread too soft to support the topping.
• Adding juicy toppings too early.
• Skipping seasoning on the topping.
