1. Toast the Bread:

Notes
- Vegan Option: For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a plant-based feta alternative.
- Bread Options: You can use gluten-free bread if preferred, or opt for a whole wheat or seeded bread for added fiber.
- Extra Flavor: For more depth of flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Storage: If making ahead, store the avocado mixture and toppings separately, and assemble just before serving to prevent soggy toast.
