2. To avoid the the chopped avocados or prepared guacamole from blackening, keep the avocado seed in the same bowl along with them
3. You can decrease the quantity of ingredients if using the dish as a starter.
4. The oven temperature and timings differ from oven to oven so keep an eye on the garlic bread while baking.
