👩‍🍳 Jamie & Max: Let’s Make a Toast You’ll Crave

Jamie: Max, I’m short on time and even shorter on groceries. What can I do with just a can of tuna?

Chef Max: That’s more than enough! First things first — drop your bread into the toaster.

Jamie: Done. What next?

Chef Max: Grab half an avocado, mash it in a small bowl with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy.

Jamie: What about the tuna?

Chef Max: Drain the can, then fluff the tuna with a fork. Mix in a tiny splash of olive oil and chili flakes if you like a little heat.

Jamie: Toast’s ready!

Chef Max: Perfect. Spread the mashed avocado on the toast. Top it with the seasoned tuna. That’s it — simple and satisfying.

Jamie: Honestly... this looks and smells amazing.

Chef Max: It is. You’ve got creaminess, savory flavor, texture — and a solid 20g of protein to start your day.
