- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 2 slices thick-sliced bread (sourdough, whole grain, or your favorite)
- Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, poached egg, microgreens, arugula, everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
- In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Mix in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
- Top with crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil (if using), and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Finish with any desired toppings like cherry tomatoes, a poached egg, or fresh greens. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Mix feta directly into mashed avocado for a creamier spread.
- Add a poached or fried egg for extra protein.
- Try toppings like roasted red peppers, hummus, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- For a Mediterranean twist, add olives and fresh oregano.
- Store leftover avocado mix with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
