Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 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: Toast your slices of bread to your preferred crispness using a toaster or by toasting them on a skillet with a little olive oil to add extra flavor.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired, to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, creating a creamy base.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the avocado spread. If you enjoy a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness if preferred.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives for an aromatic finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.
- You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or any crumbly cheese of choice.
- Adjust red pepper flakes amount based on your spice preference.
- Adding lemon juice helps prevent avocado browning and adds brightness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the toast crispness and freshness.
