Avocado toast is starring on breakfast and brunch menus in all types of foodservice operations. This speedy version is adaptable to fast casuals, build-your-own stations and sit-down restaurants. Changing up the shaved vegetables in step with the seasons is an easy way to vary the presentation.

12 eggs
3/8 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 oz. raw shaved beets
