How to Make Avocado Toast

1. Toast the Bread

Toast the sourdough slices until golden and crisp around the edges while still slightly tender in the centre.

2. Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.

3. Toast the Walnuts

Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside.

4. Prepare the Tomatoes

Halve the cherry tomatoes and season lightly with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

5. Assemble the Toast

Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado over each slice of toasted bread.

6. Add the Feta

Scatter crumbled feta evenly over the avocado.

7. Add the Toppings

Arrange the cherry tomatoes over the feta, then add the dried cranberries and toasted walnuts.

8. Garnish

Top each slice with fresh basil leaves and chopped parsley or chives.

9. Finish

Drizzle lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Add a little honey and red pepper flakes if desired.

10. Serve

Finish with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately while the toast is crisp and the toppings are fresh.

Tips for the Best Avocado Toast

• Use ripe avocados: They should mash easily while still allowing you to keep a little texture.
• Toast the bread well: A crisp surface provides a sturdy base for the creamy avocado.
• Toast the walnuts: A few minutes in a dry skillet brings out their flavour and gives them a lovely crunch.
• Assemble just before serving: This keeps the bread crisp and the toppings fresh.
• Adjust the finishing flavours: Honey adds sweetness, while red pepper flakes provide a little heat.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the avocado toast immediately for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch. Finish each slice with fresh herbs, freshly cracked black pepper, and a light drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use another type of bread?

Yes. The recipe calls for sourdough or crusty bread, but another sturdy bread can also be used.

Can I leave out the dried cranberries?

Yes. The cranberries are part of the topping, so they can be omitted if you prefer a less sweet combination.

Can I make the avocado mixture ahead?

For the freshest result, prepare the avocado shortly before assembling the toast. The lemon juice helps complement the avocado while keeping the mixture fresh.
