Ingredients
Scale
For the Toast
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (toasted)
For the Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or basil)
- Olive oil for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until it reaches a mostly smooth consistency. Stir in the lemon juice along with salt and black pepper to taste to enhance the flavors.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crisp, providing a sturdy base for the creamy spread.
- Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread, ensuring full coverage.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the avocado spread. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a hint of heat and scatter the fresh chopped herbs on top for a burst of freshness.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle a little olive oil over the assembled toast if preferred to add richness. Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of textures and flavors at their best.
Notes
- Add a poached or fried egg on top for extra protein and a heartier meal.
- Include sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or microgreens as additional toppings for more texture and nutrients.
