Instructions
- Place the bread slices in your toaster or air fryer basket. Toast until golden brown and crisp. (If using an air fryer, set to 375°F for 4-6 minutes, checking frequently.)

- You can prepare the savory toppings (like slicing avocado or tomatoes) while the bread is toasting to save time.
- This recipe works well with any sturdy bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
