This avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftover mashed avocado, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado before sealing. Toasted bread can be kept for a few hours, but it is best to toast it fresh for optimal texture.
