Leftover Advice ♻️

To store leftovers, wrap the toast tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to enjoy this toast fresh, as the avocado can oxidize and lose its vibrant color. If needed, you can sprinkle some lemon juice over the avocado before wrapping to reduce browning. When reheating, simply toast the bread again in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes, but avoid reheating the avocado to preserve its creamy texture and flavor.
