Notes
- Choosing Avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not overly mushy. This indicates they are ripe and ready to eat.
- Storage: Mashed avocado can brown quickly. If preparing in advance, store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on the surface to minimize oxidation.
- Variations: You can experiment with different breads (like sourdough, rye, or gluten-free) and toppings to suit your taste preferences.
