Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 50g crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
- Toast Your Bread: Begin by toasting your preferred bread slices until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy, crunchy base for your toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Mix in fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread slices to create a creamy foundation.
- Add the Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the avocado layer to add a tangy, salty contrast.
- Final Touches: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top and finish with a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat if desired. Add extra cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that are soft to the touch but not mushy for the best creamy texture.
- Toast bread well to avoid sogginess and to add a delightful crunchy texture contrast.
- Use fresh lemon juice to keep the avocado vibrant and prevent browning.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the avocado instead of feta slices to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Adjust salt and pepper after assembling to avoid over-seasoning early.
