It’s best to make it fresh. However, you can prepare the avocado and toast the bread separately, then put them together right before eating.
2. What kind of bread should I use?
You can use any bread you like! Sourdough, whole grain, or even gluten-free options all work well.
3. How can I tell when my avocado is ripe?
A ripe avocado feels slightly soft when you squeeze it gently. If it feels hard, it’s not ready yet. If it feels very soft, it might be overripe.
