Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste (optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your slices of bread to your preferred crispness. You can use a toaster or toast the bread on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the avocado. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Drizzle a little olive oil for added richness, if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a variation, you can add a poached or fried egg on top for added protein.
- You can use any type of bread you prefer, including gluten-free options.
- Feel free to adjust the toppings to your liking—other options include tomatoes, olives, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- The toast is best enjoyed fresh but can be made ahead if needed. Just keep the avocado mixture in an airtight container to prevent browning.
