Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices of sturdy bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 50g crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Extras

  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley, or dill), chopped
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • Thinly sliced tomatoes
  • Red pepper flakes or hot sauce (for spicy twist)
  • Poached or fried egg (for protein boost)
  • Toasted nuts or seeds (for vegan crunch)
  • Sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or cucumber for extra veggies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut your ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork until creamy but still a bit chunky. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to keep it bright and prevent browning.
  2. Toast the Bread: Select your bread, ideally sourdough or a hearty whole grain, and toast it until golden and crisp. This creates a sturdy base that holds the toppings without becoming soggy.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the avocado, distributing it evenly for every bite to have that tangy surprise.
  4. Season and Drizzle: Lightly season the toast with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Finish with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil to add depth and a subtle fruity aroma.
  5. Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your creation with optional toppings like chili flakes for heat, fresh herbs for brightness, or thin slices of tomato for juicy freshness, depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best creamy texture.
  • Toast the bread well to ensure crispiness and prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh lemon juice to add brightness and prevent avocado from browning.
  • Balance the amount of avocado and feta so flavors shine without overwhelming each other.
  • Add texture with a sprinkle of seeds or nuts for a satisfying crunch.
