Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying halloumi)
- 1 tablespoon hot honey (or regular honey with chili flakes)
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil), for garnish (optional)
- Lemon juice (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 small garlic clove (optional, for rubbing on the toast)
Instructions
- Toast the sourdough:
Begin by toasting the slices of sourdough bread to your preferred level of crispiness. You can do this in a toaster, on a grill, or in a skillet. Once toasted, rub the toast with a small cut garlic clove (optional) to add extra flavor. - Prepare the avocado:
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional). Set aside. - Fry the halloumi:
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Assemble the toast:
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Top with the crispy halloumi slices. - Drizzle with hot honey:
Drizzle the hot honey generously over the halloumi and avocado. Sprinkle with red chili flakes for extra spice, if desired. - Garnish and serve:
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Hot honey substitute: If you don’t have hot honey, you can mix regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes or a few drops of hot sauce to achieve the same effect.
- Vegan option: For a vegan alternative, replace halloumi with grilled tofu or a vegan cheese alternative.
- Serving suggestion: This toast pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit, salad, or even a poached egg on top for added protein.
