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 Base
- 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 have a crispy texture, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl. Mash them with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, according to your preference. Season with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice, mixing well to enhance the flavors.
- Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado generously onto each slice to create a creamy foundation for the toppings.
- Add the Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts over the avocado layer. Drizzle with olive oil to add richness and bring the flavors together.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh basil or parsley on top if desired for an extra burst of color and flavor. Serve the avocado toast immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant taste.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest spread.
- Feel free to swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different crunch.
- The lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning and adds a fresh tang.
- For a vegan version, omit feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Serve immediately after assembling to keep the bread from becoming soggy.
