Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat a grill pan or toaster. Brush the sourdough slices with olive oil on both sides. Place them on the grill pan or in the toaster and toast until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and crumble the feta cheese. Rinse and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Toasts

    Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice of toasted sourdough bread. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh basil leaves.

  2. 5

    Drizzle and Serve

    Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled toasts and garnish with additional salt and black pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
