Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread (thick-cut, about ½-inch slices)
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about ¼ cup)
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled (optional, for rubbing on toast)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as basil, chives, or microgreens)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Begin by washing your cherry tomatoes and cutting them in half. Set them aside in a small bowl. If you’re using herbs for garnish, give them a quick rinse and pat them dry. Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and have it ready for the next steps. This preparation ensures smooth assembly once your toast is ready.
- Step 2: Toast The Bread Place your sourdough slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they reach a golden brown color with a crispy exterior but still slightly tender in the center. If you prefer the garlic option, now is the time to cut a garlic clove in half and gently rub the cut side over the warm toast. This imparts a subtle garlic flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Step 3: Prepare The Avocado Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency—some prefer it chunky while others like it smooth. The lemon juice not only adds brightness but also prevents the avocado from browning too quickly.
- Step 4: Assemble Your Toast Divide the mashed avocado evenly between your toast slices, spreading it in an even layer. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the avocado, distributing it evenly. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes over the feta, pressing them slightly so they adhere to the avocado layer.
- Step 5: Finish And Serve Drizzle the assembled Avocado Toast with Feta and Cherry Tomatoes with a little extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for a touch of heat. Garnish with fresh herbs of your choice—basil leaves, snipped chives, or microgreens all work beautifully. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the contrast with the cool toppings is at its peak.
