Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of sourdough bread (thick-cut, approximately 1/2 inch)
- 1 large ripe avocado (should yield about 3/4 cup mashed)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (preferably multicolored for visual appeal)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 small lemon (for 2 teaspoons fresh juice and optional zest)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as basil, chives, or microgreens)
- Optional: 1 clove garlic, peeled and cut in half
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Begin by gathering all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process. Slice your cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. In a small bowl, crumble your feta cheese if it’s not already crumbled. If using herbs, roughly chop them now so they’re ready for garnishing. Having everything prepped first makes assembly quick and efficient.
- Step 2: Toast Your Bread Place your sourdough bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they reach a beautiful golden brown color with crisp edges but maintain a slight chew in the center. For extra flavor, after toasting, you can lightly rub one side of the hot toast with a cut garlic clove—this optional step adds a subtle aromatic quality that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
- Step 3: Prepare the Avocado Spread Cut your ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency—some like it completely smooth, while others prefer a chunkier texture. The lemon juice not only adds brightness but also prevents the avocado from browning too quickly.
- Step 4: Assemble Your Toast Divide the avocado mixture evenly between your toast slices, spreading it to the edges with the back of a spoon. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top, pressing them gently into the avocado spread. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the tomatoes, distributing it evenly across both pieces of toast.
- Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil over each toast. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat and add a final touch of flaky sea salt to enhance all the flavors. If using fresh herbs or microgreens, scatter them over the top now. Your **Avocado Toast with Feta and Cherry Tomatoes** is ready to enjoy immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp!
