Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Eggs: Hard-boil a batch of eggs at the beginning of the week. They keep well in the fridge, making your toast prep super quick.
- Storage Suggestions: For best results, enjoy your toast immediately. If you have leftovers, store the avocado mix separately to prevent browning.
- Ingredient Swaps: Don’t hesitate to substitute with your favorite bread or spices. Whole grain is packed with nutrients, but sourdough or rye can offer a delightful twist as well.
- Slicing Tricks: For perfectly sliced hard-boiled eggs, use a sharp knife or a wire egg slicer for neat, even pieces that rest beautifully on your toast.
