Instructions

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados for easy mashing and the best texture.
  • To make it spicier, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the toast’s crispness.
  • Try substituting smoked salmon with smoked trout or gravlax for variety.
  • Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients, but feel free to use your favorite bread type.
