Since we first discovered the magical deliciousness of avocado toast, life hasn’t really been the same — and now that we’re stumbling upon even more amazing ways to eat toast, our breakfast, lunch, and dinner strategy has seriously shifted. After all, it doesn’t really get any easier than just popping some bread in the toaster, and then covering it in an assortment of toppings.
