# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can have breakfast on the table in the time it takes your coffee to brew, no complicated steps or timing tricks.
  • It fills you up with actual nutrition—healthy fats, fiber, and that satisfying crunch that makes your brain feel awake.
  • The flavors are bright and clean without feeling like you're on a diet or missing out on something indulgent.
02 -
  • Timing is everything—overly thick avocado smashing and sitting around while you do other things means browning avocado, which tastes bitter and defeats the whole purpose.
  • The quality of your bread actually determines whether this works or feels mediocre, so splurge on something with real grain and texture rather than the soft white bread aisle.
03 -
  • If your avocado is still slightly firm, set it out while you make the toast and it'll reach perfect ripeness in those few minutes without you having to wait around.
  • Buy an apple a day or two before you plan to make this so it has time to develop that perfect crispness and tartness that makes the whole dish sing.
