# Expert Tips:

01 -

It comes together faster than waiting in line at a cafe, and tastes just as good.
The everything seasoning adds so much flavor you wont miss complicated toppings.
You can dress it up with an egg or keep it simple, and either way it feels complete.

02 -

Dont mash the avocado too far in advance or itll turn brown, even with lemon juice.
If your toast goes cold, the avocado wont spread as easily and the whole thing loses its appeal.
Everything seasoning can be salty, so taste your avocado mix before adding extra salt.

03 -

Use a fork to mash the avocado in the skin before scooping it out, it saves a dish and keeps things simple.
If your avocado isnt quite ripe, microwave it for ten seconds to soften it just enough to mash.
Always taste your avocado mix before adding more salt, the everything seasoning is already packed with it.
