💡 Frequently Asked Questions
No, I do not recommend it: the bread may become soggy.
I recommend salad (spinach, for example) with a classic or original vinaigrette. Zucchini or carrot noodles (depending on the season), or edamame, can also be a great idea.
❄️Storage
I advise you to eat this toast immediately after preparing it, as the bread may soften quickly.
