Avocado–Feta Toast Topped with Cherry Tomatoes

Avocado–feta toast topped with cherry tomatoes is a fresh, satisfying, and flavor-packed meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch. Creamy mashed avocado mixed with salty feta creates a rich, tangy base, while juicy cherry tomatoes bring a sweet burst of brightness on top. I love how it takes just minutes to make but always tastes like something from a trendy café.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this toast is creamy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The feta adds a bold, salty contrast to the buttery avocado, and the cherry tomatoes make everything pop with freshness. It’s healthy, filling, and endlessly adaptable to whatever I have on hand. Plus, it looks beautiful on the plate with minimal effort.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Ripe avocados
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh lemon juice
• Olive oil
• Salt and black pepper
• Crusty bread (sourdough, multigrain, or baguette slices)
• Cherry tomatoes, halved
• Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, dill), balsamic glaze

Directions

1. I toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
2. In a bowl, I mash the avocados with a fork, then stir in the crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. I spoon the avocado–feta mixture generously onto the toasted bread.
4. I top each toast with halved cherry tomatoes.
5. I finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs, red pepper flakes, or a splash of balsamic glaze if I want more flavor.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2–4 toasts, depending on the size of the bread.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes (for toasting bread)
Total time: 15 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I add a poached or fried egg on top to turn it into a hearty breakfast. I also love swapping the cherry tomatoes for roasted ones when I want a warmer, deeper flavor. If I’m in the mood for spice, I mix in a little harissa or crushed red pepper into the avocado. A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning gives it a fun twist too.

storage/reheating

I don’t recommend storing assembled toast, but I do prep the avocado–feta mixture ahead of time by covering it tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning. It keeps in the fridge for up to 1 day. I toast fresh bread just before serving and add tomatoes at the last minute for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought guacamole instead of fresh avocado?

Yes, I can, but I prefer mashing fresh avocado and mixing in feta for the best flavor and texture. Store-bought guac may overpower the feta.

What kind of bread works best?

I like crusty bread like sourdough or whole grain, something sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy.

Can I use grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?

Absolutely. Grape tomatoes are slightly firmer but work just as well. I cut them in half or quarters depending on size.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

I prep the mashed avocado–feta mixture and store it separately, then toast and assemble when I’m ready to eat for the freshest taste.

How can I make it dairy-free?

I simply skip the feta or use a dairy-free cheese alternative. The avocado still provides a creamy, rich base on its own.

Conclusion

Avocado–feta toast with cherry tomatoes is one of those simple dishes that never fails to satisfy. I love its balance of creaminess, saltiness, and bright freshness. Whether I’m starting my day or looking for a quick midday bite, this toast is always a flavorful and nourishing choice.
