Recipe FAQs

→ How do I keep avocado toast from getting soggy?

Toast your bread until thoroughly crisp and spread the avocado immediately before serving. The natural moisture from ripe avocados can soften bread quickly, so aim to eat within 10-15 minutes of preparation.

→ Can I make avocado toast ahead of time?

The mashed avocado mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance—store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent browning. Toast fresh bread right before serving for the best texture.

→ What bread works best for avocado toast?

Hearty whole grain, sourdough, and seeded multigrain breads provide sturdy bases that hold up well to creamy toppings. Look for dense slices with good structure—flimsy bread will buckle under the weight of the avocado and toppings.

→ How do I pick a perfectly ripe avocado?

Gently squeeze the avocado in your palm. Ripe avocados yield slightly to gentle pressure but don't feel mushy. The skin should be dark green to nearly black. If the avocado feels rock-hard, let it ripen on the counter for 2-3 days.

→ What toppings go well with avocado toast?

Everything bagel seasoning, microgreens, sliced radishes, smoked salmon, hemp seeds, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and drizzles of balsamic glaze all complement the creamy avocado base. For heat, try sriracha or everything bagel seasoning with red pepper flakes.
