Scale
Toast and Toppings
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
Avocado Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Additional Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they are golden and crisp, providing a crunchy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the texture is smooth but still slightly chunky for a fresh, rustic feel.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread to create a creamy layer.
- Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top of the avocado to add a savory and tangy flavor.
- Season and Garnish: Add red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat, then drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the toast. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill if using for a bright, herbal note.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the avocado feta toast fresh to maintain the crispness of the toast and the vibrant flavors.
Notes
- For extra protein, top the toast with a poached or fried egg.
- Add sliced cherry tomatoes or cucumber ribbons for more flavor and freshness.
- A dash of balsamic glaze can add a pleasant sweetness and depth.
- Best enjoyed fresh to keep the toast crisp and toppings flavorful.
