How to store Avocado Toast with Boiled Egg & Chives
Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftover mashed avocado, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado. Unfortunately, the toast may become soggy if stored, so it’s recommended to assemble it just before serving. 🥑❌
