💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Low and slow heat melts the cheese thoroughly before the crust can burn.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
