Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed or sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other Ingredients
- 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 them slightly chunky for texture. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden and crispy using a toaster or broiler to provide a crunchy base for the toppings.
- Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the prepared avocado mixture over each slice of toasted bread. Next, top with crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts to add layers of flavor and texture.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Lightly drizzle the toast with olive oil to enhance the taste and provide a moist finish. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or parsley leaves for a fresh herbal note and attractive presentation.
- Serve: Serve the avocado feta toast immediately while the bread is warm and crisp, ensuring the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture; under-ripe avocados will not mash well.
- To keep the avocado mixture from browning, serve immediately or squeeze extra lemon juice on top.
- Substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- This toast is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispiness of the bread.
- For a vegan version, omit feta cheese or replace with a plant-based cheese alternative.
