Craving something simple yet bursting with flavor? This Bright & Zesty Avocado Toast with Feta and Lemon combines creamy avocado, tangy feta cheese, and a fresh citrus kick. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or a light midday meal, instantly elevating your toast game with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 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.
This recipe is a terrific go-to for anyone looking to add more nutritious, heart-healthy ingredients into their diet without spending too much time in the kitchen. The tangy lemon pairs beautifully with creamy avocado and salty feta, creating a flavor profile that’s both lively and satisfying. Feel free to swap out the feta for goat cheese or skip the cheese entirely to keep it vegan. You can also top it off with cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce. With its simplicity and vibrant flavors, this avocado toast shines as the ideal snack, breakfast, or light lunch for everyone.
