Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing fancy, just the basics with a little flair:

• Avocados – ripe ones that are creamy, not hard like a rock.
• Bread – sourdough, multigrain, or whatever loaf makes your carb-loving heart happy.
• Cherry tomatoes – sweet, juicy little flavor bombs.
• Feta cheese – crumbly, tangy goodness.
• Olive oil – drizzle for extra flavor (and to feel fancy)
• Salt & black pepper – because bland food is a crime.
• Optional extras – red pepper flakes, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, or even a fried egg if you’re feeling extra.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Toast your bread. Goldn brown and sturdy. This is the base of greatness, so don’t burn it.
2. Mash the avocado. Scop into a bowl, mash with a fork, and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if you’ve got it.
3. Prep the toppings. Halve those cherry tomatoes. Crumble that feta. Feel like a kitchen superstar already.
4. Assemble. Spread avocado generously over toast, sprinkle feta, pile on cherry tomatoes, and drizzle with olive oil.
5. Upgrade it. Optional but encouraged: red pepper flakes, balsamic drizzle, or a fried egg on top. Then eat immediately—because soggy toast is a crime against humanity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using underripe avocados. Hard avocados don’t mash, they fight back.
• Skipping seasoning. Avocado without salt tastes like sadness.
• Soggy bread. Flimsy sandwich bread won’t hold up—go thick and sturdy.
• Overloading with toppings. Yes, more is better… until everything falls off mid-bite.
• Forgetting acid. A squeeze of lemon/lime keeps avocado bright and flavorful, not dull and brown.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No feta? Try goat cheese, cream cheese, or even ricotta.
• No cherry tomatoes? Swap in sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
• Want more protein? Add a fried or poached egg, smoked salmon, or turkey slices
• Gluten-free? Use your fave GF bread—it works just fine.
• Feeling spicy? Load it with chili flakes or sriracha drizzle.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Not really. Avocado turns brown faster than you can say “basic brunch.” Best to make fresh.

Do I need to use sourdough?

Nope. Any bread works, but sourdough gives the best crunch + chew combo.

Can I store leftover avocado mash?

You can, but it’ll brown quickly. Add lemon juice, cover tightly, and use within a day.

Is feta the only cheese option?

Nah. Goat cheese, ricotta, or even shredded mozzarella will do the trick.

Can I add meat?

Absolutely. Crispy bacon, smoked salmon, or grilled chicken turn this into a full meal.

Is this kid-friendly?

Depends. Some kids love avocado, others think it’s “green slime.” But hey, more for you.

Final Thoughts

And there you have it— Avocado Toast with Feta and Cherry Tomatoes. It’s simple, flavorful, and just the right mix of creamy, tangy, and juicy. Perfect for when you want something quick but don’t feel like sacrificing flavor.
