# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes flat when you need something substantial but have zero energy
  • The everything seasoning adds that perfect salty crunch that makes you feel like you ordered from a fancy café
  • You can keep it simple or load it up with eggs and cheese depending on how hungry you actually are
02 -
  • A perfectly ripe avocado makes all the difference, so plan ahead and let yours sit on the counter for a couple days if needed
  • The toast cools fast, so have everything else prepped and ready before the bread pops up
  • Mixing the olive oil and lemon juice directly into the mashed avocado prevents sogginess while distributing flavor evenly
03 -
  • Rub a raw garlic clove over the hot toast before adding avocado for an invisible layer of flavor
  • Keep your everything bagel seasoning in a shaker jar with larger holes for even distribution
  • The best way to check avocado ripeness is to flick off the small stem button, if it comes off easily and is green underneath, you are good to go
