Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)
Avocado Topping
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon juice to taste (optional)
Additional Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your slices of bread to your preferred crispness. You can use a toaster or toast the bread on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
- Mash the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Spread Avocado on Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Add Feta and Seasoning: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the avocado. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Drizzle a little olive oil for added richness, if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or ricotta if preferred.
- Adding lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
- Toast the bread to your preferred crispness to add texture contrast.
- Optional olive oil drizzle adds richness but can be omitted to reduce fat content.
- For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
