Step 3: Fry the Eggs

4. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Tips for the Best Avocado Toast

• Use Ripe Avocados – They should be soft but not mushy.
• Pick a Good Bread – Sourdough or whole grain works best.
• Fry the Egg to Your Liking – Runny yolk for richness, fully cooked for a cleaner bite.
• Experiment with Toppings – Try smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or everything bagel seasoning!

Storing & Reheating

• Best Served Fresh – Avocado browns quickly, so enjoy immediately.
• To Store – Keep mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
• Reheat Toast – Toast in a pan or oven for crispiness.
