Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- 10–12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Mixture
Start by slicing the avocados in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you achieve your preferred consistency—whether smooth or slightly chunky. Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy. Whole grain or sourdough bread works best for this recipe as it provides a sturdy base for the toppings. You can use a toaster, oven, or pan to toast the bread to your desired crispiness.
Step 3: Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes
Rinse and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Lightly sprinkle them with salt and a drizzle of olive oil to enhance their natural sweetness. For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of chili flakes.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toast. Ensure the entire surface is covered for a delicious, creamy layer.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Top the avocado toast with the halved cherry tomatoes, distributing them evenly across the slices. Then crumble the feta cheese over the top, adding a salty, tangy flavor to contrast the creamy avocado. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added freshness and aroma. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
Notes
COOKING Note:
- Ripe Avocados: Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. If the avocados are too firm, they won’t mash easily, and the taste will be less creamy and rich.
- Cherry Tomatoes: For added flavor, roast the cherry tomatoes in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes to enhance their sweetness.
