Method

Base & Bread

1

Preheat and prep

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each bread slice lightly with 2 tbs olive oil and sprinkle the 1/2 tsp salt evenly across the slices.

2

Toast the bread slices in the hot pan 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden-brown and crisp with good grill marks. Alternatively, use a toaster oven on medium-high for 4–6 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Avocado Spread

3

Prepare avocados

Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky (about 10–15 coarse stirs). The quantity listed (~2 cups) is roughly 2 medium avocados.

4

Season the mash

Add 1 tbs lime juice, 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, 3/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine and taste; adjust salt or lime to preference.

Toppings & Assembly

5

Prepare toppings

Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the radishes. If using microgreens or arugula, rinse and dry them. Crumble the feta if using.

6

Assemble the toasts

Divide the avocado spread evenly among the 4 toasted bread slices, spreading it to the edges with the back of a spoon. Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes and radish slices over the avocados. Scatter microgreens or arugula and sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta (optional) across the four toasts.

7

Finish and serve

Drizzle a very light amount of extra-virgin olive oil (if desired) and sprinkle 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt and a pinch of black pepper over each toast. If using, halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on two toasts or divide smoked salmon among them. Serve immediately while bread is still warm and crisp.

Optional Protein (if using)

8

Soft-boiled eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower eggs into boiling water and cook for 6–7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer to an ice bath for 2 minutes, peel, and halve. Place on prepared toasts.

9

Smoked salmon

Tear smoked salmon into small pieces and distribute on top of avocado spread just before serving to preserve texture.
