My signature Avocado Toast with feta & balsamic glaze 🥑🧀✨
If there’s one thing I’ve learned living in LA, it’s that avocado toast is basically a lifestyle. But let’s be real—not all avocado toasts are created equal.
I’ve tested dozens of versions, from trendy cafés to my own kitchen, and I finally perfected my signature recipe: creamy mashed avocado, salty feta crumbles, and a drizzle of sweet, tangy balsamic glaze. It’s simple, it’s delicious, and it’s the perfect mix of California freshness with a Mediterranean twist.
And now? It’s officially my go-to breakfast, lunch, or anytime snack.
Ingredients 🥑
✔️ 2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite rustic bread)
✔️ 1 ripe avocado
✔️ 50g (¼ cup) crumbled feta cheese
✔️ 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
✔️ 1 tsp lemon juice
✔️ 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (store-bought)
✔️ Salt & black pepper to taste
✔️ Chili flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
How to Make It 🥄
1️⃣ Toast the bread – You want it golden and crispy on the outside, but still soft inside.
2️⃣ Mash the avocado – Scoop it into a bowl and mash it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy (but still slightly chunky).
3️⃣ Assemble the toast – Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
4️⃣ Top with feta – Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the avocado, making sure to get a little in every bite.
5️⃣ Drizzle with balsamic glaze – This is the game-changer! The sweetness of the balsamic balances the saltiness of the feta and the creaminess of the avocado perfectly.
6️⃣ Optional: Add chili flakes for a little heat, or top with extra olive oil for an extra-rich flavor.
7️⃣ Devour immediately – preferably with a good coffee, a side of sunshine, and no distractions.
