Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon or replace it with plant-based bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted chickpeas for added texture and flavor.
Sourdough, whole grain, and multigrain bread are excellent choices because they provide a sturdy base and extra flavor. You can also use gluten-free bread if needed.
To prevent your mashed avocado from browning, add extra lemon juice and store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.
It's best to assemble avocado toast right before serving to keep the bread crispy and the avocado fresh. However, you can pre-mash the avocado with lemon juice and refrigerate it for a few hours.
You can customize your avocado toast with:
Sliced tomatoes
Microgreens
Feta cheese
Smoked salmon
A drizzle of hot honey
For a protein boost:
Add an extra egg
Sprinkle hemp or chia seeds
Include smoked salmon
Use whole grain or high-protein bread
