How to Store Avocado Toast & Scrambled Eggs with Blueberries

This recipe is best eaten right away, as the toast can become soggy, and the scrambled eggs should be soft and fluffy.

To keep it fresh, try pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to limit exposure to air. However, it is not recommended to store the entire dish once assembled.
