Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 2–4 slices of sourdough bread, toasted to perfection
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (bonus if it’s marinated in olive oil)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional), such as parsley or basil, for garnish
Optional Additions for Extra Flavor:
- A drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey for a sweet and tangy twist
- A poached egg for added protein and richness
- A splash of extra virgin olive oil for depth of flavor
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Avocado
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it gently with a fork to your desired consistency, or slice it for a more textured presentation. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix to enhance the flavor.
Toast your sourdough slices until they’re golden and crispy, providing the perfect base for your toppings.
Spread the mashed or sliced avocado generously over each slice of toasted bread.
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes across the avocado layer. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top, followed by the chopped cranberries and walnuts.
Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. For a touch of freshness and visual appeal, garnish with chopped parsley or basil leaves.
For an extra layer of indulgence, drizzle a few drops of balsamic glaze or honey over the toast. If you’re feeling adventurous, top with a poached egg and a splash of flavorful extra virgin olive oil.
Serve your avocado toast immediately to savor its perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and crunchy textures.
