A Mediterranean-Inspired Delight
This Flavor-Packed Avocado Feta Toast is a simple yet elevated dish inspired by Mediterranean flavours. Creamy avocado, tangy feta, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crunchy walnuts come together on perfectly toasted bread for a meal that is fresh, satisfying, and full of texture. It works beautifully for breakfast, brunch, a light lunch, or even as a wholesome snack.
Balanced, nutritious, and quick to prepare, this toast proves that a few quality ingredients can create something truly special.

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Base
- 2 slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread, toasted
Avocado Layer
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- ΒΌ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or olives (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. A sturdy, well-toasted base prevents sogginess and supports the toppings.
2. Prepare the Avocado
Mash the avocado in a bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Keep it slightly chunky for better texture.
3. Assemble the Toast
Spread the avocado mixture generously over each slice of toast. Layer with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries or olives if using.
4. Finish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh herbs and add a final drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
