Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large large avocado (ripe) A buttery, creamy avocado adds richness and flavor.
- 2 slices slices of bread (your favorite kind, toasted) Sourdough or whole grain works beautifully.

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by selecting a ripe avocado. Slice it open, remove the pit, and scoop the green flesh into a bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency—smooth for a creamy spread or slightly chunky for texture.
- Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
Toasting Bread
- While you prepare the avocado, toast your bread until golden brown and crispy.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over each slice of bread, allowing it to soak in.
Assembly
- Spread the mashed avocado over the toasted bread.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the avocado.
- Add red pepper flakes on top for flavor.
- Finish with an extra sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider a double toast or a light broil in the oven. Experiment with toppings such as cherry tomatoes or a poached egg for added flavor.
