Ingredients
Toast and Spread
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (toasted)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Drizzle of olive oil (optional)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (toasted)
- Fresh basil or arugula for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness using a toaster or oven.
- Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky to retain texture.
- Spread Avocado: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture onto the toasted bread slices to form the base layer.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and toasted walnuts evenly on top of the avocado spread. Optionally, drizzle lightly with olive oil for added richness.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh basil or arugula for a peppery note and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra protein, top with a poached or fried egg.
- Swap feta cheese for goat cheese if preferred.
- Use pistachios or pecans as an alternative to walnuts for different nutty flavors.
