Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (sourdough or whole-grain preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Vegemite
- 2 teaspoons butter (softened at room temperature)
- 0.5 pieces avocado (ripe)
- 4 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 30 grams feta cheese
- 10 grams arugula leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece lemon wedge
Instructions
Toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispness.
Spread a thin layer of butter evenly over the warm toasted bread slices.
Using a knife or small spatula, spread approximately 1 teaspoon of Vegemite onto each slice. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference for the salty, umami-packed spread.
Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl and mash it lightly with a fork, leaving some texture. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on top of the Vegemite layer.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them over the avocado-topped toast.
Crumble the feta cheese over the toast, ensuring even distribution.
Top with a handful of fresh arugula leaves for a peppery bite.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the toast for added richness.
Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper to taste and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegemite Downunder toast with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
