How to store Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is typically best when eaten immediately after preparation, as the avocado tends to brown quickly. If you want to enjoy the freshness and flavors, it's recommended to make it fresh each time you are craving this amazing dish. However if you have extras and want to save it here are some guide lines.

1. Remove any toppings: If your avocado toast is topped with ingredients like tomatoes, bacon, or cheese, remove them before storing.

2. Wrap tightly: Use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to tightly wrap the avocado toast. Make sure all sides are covered to prevent air exposure.

3. Refrigerate promptly: Place the wrapped avocado toast in the refrigerator as soon as possible. The cool temperature will help slow down the oxidation process and keep the avocado from turning brown.

4. Consume within a day: Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, so try to consume it within 24 hours of preparation. The longer it sits, the more the avocado will oxidize and the bread may become soggy.
