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.
