Let’s Get Started! Here’s What You’ll Need:
Ingredients:
Sourdough Bread - Use bakery bread for the best texture and flavor, though sliced sourdough sandwich bread can work well, too.
Avocado - Choose a large, ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed. Avocado can brown when exposed to air, so mash it immediately before assembling the balsamic avocado tomato toast with feta.
Lemon Juice - Just ½ teaspoon of juice brightens the avocado’s flavor and slows browning. Use fresh juice if possible, though bottled can work in a pinch.
Tomato - Their juicy sweetness complements the creamy avocado and salty feta. Halve grape or cherry tomatoes or slice a ripe Roma or beefsteak tomato if needed.
Salt - This humble seasoning brings the avocado and veggie flavors to life, making the best avocado tomato toast. Use fine sea or kosher salt or sprinkle on flaky sea salt for an elevated touch.
Feta Cheese - For briny and salty notes. Use precrumbled cheese or crumble your own.
Balsamic Glaze - Not to be confused with balsamic vinegar, glaze is thick, sweet, and syrupy, balancing the creamy and salty toppings. I use store-bought glaze for ease and convenience, but you can also make your own.
Equipment:
Mixing Bowls - All you need is one cereal bowl or small mixing bowl for mashing the avocado. You'll also need a fork for mashing, or a muddler works well too.
Citrus Juicer - An optional tool which can make it easier to squeeze citrus. You can also squeeze the lemon over a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
Cutting Board & Knife - This will be used to cut the tomatoes. Use a very sharp paring knife or serrated knife to halve them without crushing.
Measuring Spoons & Cups - For measuring the feta avocado toast’s toppings, though you can also opt to measure with your heart on those.
Oven or Toaster Oven - Use one of these to toast the bread. Toaster ovens are often easier for smaller or individual batches, whereas ovens can better accommodate multiple.

Recipe Success Tips
- Toast to preference. For softer or more chewy toast, toast the bread on a lighter or shorter setting. If you prefer it crunchier and golden brown, toast it on higher heat or for longer.
- Season to taste. Sprinkle the salt to your taste preferences, adding more or less if desired. For a brighter finish, you can also squeeze more lemon juice on the avocado feta toast before serving.
- Make to serve. This avocado and feta toast is best served fresh, if you don’t plan on eating both pieces of toast, halve the recipe.
- Doubling or multiplying. Serve the whole family or a crowd by increasing the ingredients by your desired amount. For larger batches, toast the slices of bread spread out on a sheet pan in a 375°F oven for 5-10 minutes or until it has reached your desired doneness before topping.
