Step 1: While the bread is toasting, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, then mix in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Tips for Perfect Avocado Toast

Choose Ripe Avocados: The key to a delicious avocado toast is using perfectly ripe avocados. If the avocado feels slightly soft when you gently press it, it's ready to use.
Bread Selection: Whole-grain bread is a nutritious option, but feel free to experiment with sourdough, rye, or even gluten-free varieties for different textures and flavors.
Lemon Juice: Don’t skip the lemon juice! Not only does it prevent the avocado from browning, but it also adds a zesty contrast to the creamy avocado.
Customize Your Toppings: Play around with different toppings like feta cheese, hard-boiled eggs, or even smoked salmon for a more indulgent version.
