Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Optional Garnish
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread to your preferred level of crispiness, either using a toaster or in a pan.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it thoroughly with a fork until creamy. Season the mashed avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, creating a smooth base for the toppings.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the avocado layer. Add halved cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts on top for a mix of textures and flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the assembled toast and add a bit more black pepper if desired. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh torn basil leaves to add brightness. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its freshest.
Notes
- For added protein, top with a soft-boiled or poached egg.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or almonds based on your preference or availability.
- Use fresh basil for garnish to add aroma and a hint of herbal flavor.
- Try sourdough bread for a tangier flavor or whole grain for added fiber.
