• Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors of the avocado and ricotta.

Storage and Serving

• Avocado toast is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
• If you have leftover avocado mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• To serve, simply re-toast the bread slices and assemble the avocado toast with the remaining ingredients.
