Pro Tips:

• Use day-old bread and toast it well — sturdier bread holds toppings better.

• Mash avocado just before serving to keep it bright green.

• Rub a cut clove of garlic over the hot toast for extra flavour.

Optional Extras:

• Add sliced tomatoes or radishes for freshness and crunch.

• Top with smoked salmon or a poached egg for a protein boost.

• Swap lemon juice for lime and sprinkle with coriander or paprika.
