💬 Q&A Section
❓Q1: How can I make the eggs easier to peel?
✅ A: Use slightly older eggs and immediately cool them in an ice bath — it helps separate the shell from the egg white.
❓Q2: Can I use hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs instead?
✅ A: Yes! For hard-boiled, cook 9–10 minutes; for soft-boiled, about 5½ minutes.
❓Q3: How do I keep avocado from browning?
✅ A: Mix in lemon or lime juice and press plastic wrap directly against the surface before storing.
❓Q4: What kind of bread works best?
✅ A: Sourdough, whole-grain, rye, or seeded breads hold up well to the creamy toppings.
❓Q5: Can I meal prep this?
✅ A: You can boil eggs and mash avocado separately ahead of time. Assemble toast fresh when ready to eat for best texture.
