Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed or sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toast and Toppings
- 4 slices of whole-grain bread, toasted
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados, keeping some chunks for texture. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then stir thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole-grain bread slices using a toaster or broiler until they are golden brown and crispy for the perfect crunchy base.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the prepared avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts on top of the avocado layer.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over each assembled toast to enhance the flavors. Add fresh basil or parsley on top for a pop of color and fresh aroma, if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy the Avocado Feta Toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp to experience the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.
- Toast the bread just before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Omit dried cranberries for a less sweet option or replace with pomegranate seeds for extra freshness.
- Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add a nice aromatic touch but are optional.
