  • 2 slices of sturdy, whole-grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • Juice of half a lemon (plus a little zest if you like an extra zing)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Chili flakes (optional, for some heat)
  • Olive oil or softened butter (for toasting)

Instructions

Start by lightly brushing your slices of whole-grain bread with olive oil or spreading them with a thin layer of softened butter. Toast them until they’re golden and crisp. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, mixing in the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a twist of black pepper to taste.

Spoon the mashed avocado onto each slice of toast, dividing it evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta on top of the avocado, followed by a light dusting of chili flakes if you enjoy a touch of spice. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice or a little zest for that bright final flourish. Serve immediately and enjoy while it’s fresh.
