Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Spread
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
Toast
- 4 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread (or bread of choice)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a grill pan until they are golden brown and crispy, which will provide a firm base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your texture preference. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using, and mix well to combine.
- Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice to create a creamy layer.
- Add the Toppings: Top the avocado-spread toast with crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. This combination adds a balance of salty, sweet, and crunchy elements.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the assembled toasts with olive oil to enhance richness. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired for added color and flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy and flavorful spread.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
- Toast the bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
