Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this vegan? Absolutely! Skip the eggs and add toppings like sliced tomatoes, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, or roasted chickpeas for extra protein and texture.
What type of bread works best? Whole grain, sourdough, or multigrain bread all work wonderfully. Choose a sturdy bread that can support the toppings without getting soggy.
How do I know when an avocado is ripe? A ripe avocado should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. The skin may be darker, but color varies by variety. If it feels mushy, it’s overripe.
Can I prepare this ahead? The avocado mixture can be made 1-2 hours ahead if you add extra lemon juice and cover tightly with plastic wrap. However, it’s best to assemble just before eating for optimal texture.
