Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To prevent the avocado from browning, make sure to toss the pieces gently in lemon juice immediately after cutting. If you don't have a shamrock cookie cutter, you can use a small round cutter to form the leaves and a knife to carve out the stem.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For an extra layer of flavor and creaminess, try spreading a thin layer of cream cheese on the toast before adding the avocado shapes. You can also substitute the bread for a gluten-free variety if you have dietary restrictions.
Serviervorschläge
Serve these toasts immediately while the bread is warm and the avocado is fresh. A garnish of fresh chives or microgreens adds a vibrant pop of green and a mild, onion-like bite that complements the everything seasoning perfectly.
