Directions

Toast the Bread: Toast the sourdough bread until golden brown and crispy. This forms a perfect, crunchy base for your avocado and feta mixture.
Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth but still a bit chunky for texture.
Add Feta Cheese: Gently fold the crumbled feta cheese into the avocado mixture, ensuring it’s well combined but still maintains a little crumble for texture.
Assemble the Toast: Generously spread the avocado-feta mixture over each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
Finishing Touches: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then season with additional salt and pepper or any other toppings you like. Enjoy as is or get creative with added ingredients like tomatoes, herbs, or a sprinkle of chili flakes.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover avocado mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The toast itself can’t be stored as the bread will get soggy.
