  • Learned this the hard way but do not attempt to mash unripe avocado because you will end up with these weird hard chunks and a very disappointing breakfast experience
  • The toast needs to be completely cool before you add the avocado or it will turn into a sad, melting situation and all that beautiful crunch will be lost

  • Mix a tiny bit of grated garlic into your avocado mash for this subtle background note that makes people ask what your secret ingredient is
  • Use the back of a fork to create these ridges in your avocado which catch all the toppings and sauce so every bite is perfectly balanced
