How to make the best Avocado toast
Avocado Toast makes a great breakfast, light lunch or a satisfying snack. It's creamy, full of great flavour and it only gets better with the addition of more toppings, such as, feta, eggs, tofu eggs or chilli flakes. Always include salt and note that it is best eaten fresh as avocado does tend to darken in colour if it sits around for too long.

Notes
Nutrition Information is computer generated and is intended as a guideline only.
Note: Avocadoes will oxidise (brown) once the fruit is cut, so always add lemon juice to prevent this from happening.
Store cut 1/2's of avocado in an air-tight container or bag in the fridge. Add lemon juice to the cut side to prevent too much browning from taking place.
Keep these options vegan by using non-dairy feta cheese and perhaps serve with tofu scrambled egg for a delicious light meal.
