Tips and Techniques
Make ahead instructions- This is not a recipe you can make ahead. Avocado will brown if left exposed to the air. Also, the toast is best served warm and crispy. This recipe needs to be made when you are ready to serve it.
Is guacamole on toast same as avocado on toast? No, it’s almost the same thing but Guacamole (One Bowl) is made with more ingredients such as garlic, salt, onion, cilantro, lime juice in it and takes more time to prepare than just mashing avocados. However, you can easily replace mashed avocados with guac, if you have it on hand.
Pick the right avocados– A fresh, ripe avocado is slightly firm, with a little give and squish, but not too soft and mushy to the touch. It should not have dents and spots on it either.
What bread to use? Use high quality bread. My favorite is thickly sliced bread like Texas toast or use hearty bread such as sourdough, Ciabatta or whatever you personal favorite bread is.
Can you freeze or refrigerate this open sandwich? No, the bread will become soggy and the avocado will will brown.
