Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 50 grams Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 6 units Cherry tomatoes
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by toasting the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-5 minutes in a toaster or under a preheated broiler.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency.
To the mashed avocado, add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside for garnish.
Once the toast is ready, drizzle each slice with a little extra virgin olive oil, soaking the porous surface slightly for added flavor.
Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over each slice of toast.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle evenly over the avocado-covered toast slices.
Top each toast with cherry tomato halves, arranging them evenly.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the toast for a fragrant and colorful garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean diet avocado and cheese toast!
