Helpful Tips for Success

Useful Tips for Smashed Edamame Toast:

1| Defrost edamame properly: Make sure the edamame is fully thawed before blending. If you’re in a rush, just run it under warm water for a quick defrost.

2| Don’t overblend: You want a chunky consistency, not a paste. Pulse the mixture in short bursts and keep an eye on it.

3| Adjust to your taste: Love lime? Add more juice or zest. Want it creamier? Toss in extra avocado or tahini.

4| Toast your bread well: A good, sturdy toast is key for holding up all the toppings. Go for a deep golden-brown finish to get that perfect crunch.

5| Pickled onion boost: For even more flavor, let the pickled onions sit at room temperature for a few minutes before topping your toast. It softens them up and intensifies their tangy goodness.

6| Make it ahead: The edamame spread keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just store it in an airtight container and give it a good stir before using.

7| Serving idea: Feeling fancy? Cut the toast into bite-sized squares and serve it as a party appetizer!

These tips will help you nail this recipe every time, whether it’s a lazy breakfast or a brunch with friends! 🥑🌟

Edamame Spread Storage:

  • Store any leftover edamame spread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. The flavors actually improve after sitting for a little while!
