Notes

How to pick a ripe avocado: Look for an avocado that yields to firm, gentle pressure. It should feel slightly soft but not mushy.
Bread is key: Use a sturdy, high-quality bread like sourdough or a thick-cut whole grain for the best texture and flavor.
Serve immediately: Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh to prevent the toast from getting soggy and the avocado from browning.
