Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Toast
  1. Begin by preheating your toaster or broiler to medium-high heat. Toast the bread for about 3-5 minutes until golden-brown.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut a ripe Haas avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash until creamy.
  3. Spread the avocado mixture onto the toasted bread, reaching the edges for maximum flavor.
  4. Add your choice of toppings such as cherry tomatoes, bacon, or eggs. Be creative with your combinations.
  5. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm for the best taste and texture.
