Variations

Add Protein: If you want to add more protein, top your toast with a poached egg or a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
Swap Seeds: You can replace the pumpkin and sesame seeds with sunflower seeds, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for a different texture.
Spicy Kick: Add a few chili flakes or drizzle some sriracha for a spicy twist.
Herb Infusion: Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for added freshness and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: This avocado toast is best served fresh, as avocado can brown quickly. If you have leftovers, it’s best to store the individual components separately and assemble them just before eating.
Reheating: If you need to reheat the bread, toast it again for a couple of minutes. However, it’s recommended to prepare the topping fresh to maintain the best texture and flavor.
