Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Place the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill.
- Toast until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly brush the bread with olive oil before grilling.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado Spread
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Gently mash the avocado with a fork. Leave some texture for a more rustic feel.
- Add ½ teaspoon of sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to season. Mix well.
Step 3: Assemble the Mediterranean Toast
- Spread a generous layer of avocado onto the toasted bread.
- Scatter crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of freshness and color.
- Drizzle with golden olive oil to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
Step 4: Create the Sweet Sensation Toast
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toast.
- Sprinkle pomegranate seeds generously for a tart, juicy contrast.
- Drizzle honey lightly over the top to add sweetness. For extra flair, sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
Step 5: Make the Spicy Kick Toast
- Spread avocado onto the toast base.
- Drizzle sriracha in a zigzag pattern over the top for a bold, spicy note.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly for a nutty crunch.
- Finish with a touch of lime zest for a burst of freshness.
Step 6: Build the Classic Elegance Toast
- Spread avocado over the toast evenly.
- Lay a delicate slice of smoked salmon on top of the avocado layer.
- Gently place a perfectly poached egg on the salmon.
- Garnish with a sprig of dill for a touch of elegance.
Step 7: Serve the Toast Flight
- Arrange all the prepared toasts on a large wooden or slate platter for visual appeal.
- Use small labels or markers to identify the different toppings.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and textures.
Notes
- Avocado Ripeness: Use avocados that are just ripe for the best creamy texture. Avoid overripe avocados, which can turn mushy and brown.
- Bread Choice: Mix and match bread types for variety. A combination of sourdough and rye adds complexity to the flight.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with toppings! Try goat cheese, fresh basil, or balsamic glaze for more options.
- Timing: Prepare and serve the toast immediately to keep the bread crisp and toppings fresh.
