Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Spread
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
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
Garnish
- 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 golden brown and crispy to provide a crunchy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh from the avocados into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using, then mix well to combine.
- Assemble the Toasts: Spread the mashed avocado generously onto each slice of toasted bread, ensuring an even layer for balanced flavor.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the avocado, followed by halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts for a combination of creamy, tangy, sweet, and crunchy textures. Drizzle lightly with olive oil for richness.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh basil or parsley on top if desired for an extra pop of color and herbaceous flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its best texture and freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy, spreadable texture.
- To enhance flavor, toast the bread until crispy but not burnt.
- The lemon juice helps prevent avocado from browning and adds a fresh tang.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts with other nuts or seeds based on preference or allergies.
- This recipe is best served fresh to maintain the crunch of the bread and freshness of toppings.
