Questions and Tips
What is the best way to get the seed out of the avocado? Take a sharp knife and firmly whack it onto the avocado seed. Once your knife is securely attached to the seed, turn the seed a quarter turn by holding the avocado tightly and just moving the knife. It should twist and come right out, still attached to your knife. You could also use a large spoon to scoop under it. I love using the gadget pictured above, it helps me get the seed out and slice it.
Can I top with sliced avocado or sliced tomato instead? You can slice your avocado and layer on top of your bread, overlapping slightly. If you do this I would recommend cutting up your tomato so it lays on top without falling off. You can also, mash your avocado then use the sliced tomato, overlapping.
Where do I find Everything but the Bagel Seasoning? Everything Bagel seasoning is found in most typical grocery stores in the spice aisle, at Walmart where they sell food.
