Toast the Bread

Toast two slices of your preferred whole grain or gluten-free bread until golden and crisp. This step adds the perfect crunch to your dish.

Prepare the Avocado

Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a knife, carefully cut the avocado into chunks while still in the skin, then scoop it out into a bowl.

Mash the Avocado

Add the lemon juice to the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. This ensures great texture and flavor in each bite.

Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Top with crumbled feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes, adding both color and deliciousness to your toast.

Finish and Serve

Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top of the toast. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to your liking. Serve immediately and enjoy!
