Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed
- 4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
- ½ cup (118 ml) crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup (237 ml) cherry tomatoes, halved
Nuts and Dried Fruits:
- ¼ cup (59 ml) dried cranberries
- ¼ cup (59 ml) walnuts, roughly chopped
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a vibrant avocado spread by thoroughly mashing ripe avocados (about 2 medium-sized or 170 grams) in a mixing bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon juice (approximately or 15 milliliters) into the mixture, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to create a harmonious blend with a rustic, slightly textured consistency.
- Select high-quality whole-grain bread slices and transform them into golden, crisp foundations. Utilize a traditional toaster or employ the oven’s broiler method, ensuring each slice achieves a uniform, crunchy texture that can support the upcoming layers of toppings.
- Generously distribute the seasoned avocado mixture across the warm, toasted bread, creating an even, creamy base. Artfully arrange crumbled feta cheese (around or 55 grams), halved cherry tomatoes (about or 75 grams), dried cranberries (or 35 grams), and roughly chopped walnuts (or 30 grams) to craft a visually appealing and flavor-packed surface.
- Elevate the toast’s richness by delicately drizzling extra virgin olive oil (or 5 milliliters) across each slice. Optional: Enhance the presentation and taste by sprinkling freshly chopped basil or parsley as a final aromatic garnish.
Notes
- Customize your toast by adjusting avocado seasoning to match your taste preferences, experimenting with different salt and pepper levels.
- Choose high-quality, ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and most vibrant flavor in your mixture.
- Toast bread until golden and crispy to provide a sturdy foundation that prevents soggy results and adds delightful crunch.
- Layer toppings strategically to balance flavors: tangy feta, sweet cranberries, and nutty walnuts create a complex taste profile.
- Extra virgin olive oil adds luxurious richness and helps bind ingredients while introducing subtle fruity undertones.
- Fresh herbs like basil or parsley elevate the dish with bright, aromatic notes and a pop of color.
