Ingredients
Scale
For the Toast
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
For the Avocado Feta Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes, sliced (preferably cherry tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This creates a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Mash the avocado: In a bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Mix in feta cheese: Gently fold crumbled feta cheese into the mashed avocado mixture to create a creamy, flavorful spread with a slight tanginess.
- Spread on toast: Generously spread the avocado-feta mixture over the toasted bread slices to ensure each bite is creamy and rich.
- Add tomatoes and cranberries: Top the spread with sliced fresh tomatoes and sprinkle dried cranberries over the toast for a burst of sweetness and freshness.
- Drizzle olive oil: Finish by drizzling high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the toppings to add a subtle richness and smooth mouthfeel. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the mashed avocado to prevent browning.
- You can substitute cherry tomatoes with grape tomatoes or regular sliced tomatoes.
- Use gluten-free bread if you need to make this recipe gluten free.
- For a vegan version, replace feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- This toast is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the bread.
