Ingredients
Scale
Toast Base
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 4-5 fresh cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 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 crisp to provide a sturdy base for the spread.
- Prepare Avocado: In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado and mash it thoroughly until creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Combine with Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese into the mashed avocado, mixing just enough to create a creamy, slightly chunky spread without losing the feta’s texture.
- Spread on Toast: Generously spread the avocado and feta mixture over the toasted bread slices evenly.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the sliced fresh cherry tomatoes evenly on top of the spread, then sprinkle dried cranberries over the tomatoes for a pop of sweetness.
- Finish with Olive Oil: Drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the assembled toast and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly under gentle pressure for the best creamy texture.
- Cherry tomatoes add sweetness and juiciness, but you can substitute with any fresh seasonal tomatoes.
- Dried cranberries provide a contrasting sweet tartness; you may substitute with dried cherries or raisins.
- For a vegan option, omit feta cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Serve immediately to avoid soggy bread caused by the moisture from avocado and tomatoes.
