Happy Monday, friends!
Can you believe we’re already at the end of June? The summer feels like it’s flying by, and we just got started.
I’ve mentioned this before, but one of my favorite things about summer is the farmer’s markets in my area. I absolutely love browsing through their fresh selection of fruits, veggies, and other goodies. It just screams summer and all things deliciousness!
Though there are many different farmer’s markets in my area, I usually go to the same one or two, just for convenience sake. And one thing that I usually load up on every week (besides ALL the fruit) is avocados.
I usually have a hard time picking out avocados from my grocery store, as they’re either too mushy, too hard, or just plain gross. But when I see the selection at the farmer’s market, I feel a lot better about my decision. After all, picking a ripe (and delicious) avocado takes some skill, at least for me!
So, of course I headed home and had to whip something up with the ten billion avocados I hoarded.
This Mushroom, Avocado and Feta Toast combines fresh mushrooms, ripe avocado and creamy feta cheese, piled high on toasted bread and drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This simple toast makes a deliciously easy appetizer or side dish!
And you know me, I loooove mushrooms (see here, here and here), so this seemed like a natural fit for some avocado toast. And feta, because you can’t forget the cheese. Or the balsamic glaze. It adds the finishing touch and the perfect amount of flavor for each bite.
This Mushroom, Avocado and Feta Toast is so easy to whip up! But, you knew that was coming, right? I used a french baguette for the bread, but feel free to use whatever you have on-hand. I popped it into the oven to broil for a few minutes, just to get that nice, golden, crispy texture.
Next comes the mushrooms! I sauteed them in some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Easy peasy! Once the toast is ready, pile on those mushrooms, add some chopped avocado (or sliced, if you prefer!), a sprinkling of crumbled feta, and a touch of balsamic glaze. And to make things even easier, I used the bottled glaze that you can find near the olive oils in your local grocery store.
One bit and you’ll be hooked on the savory flavors. The seasoned mushrooms, the creamy avocado, the bite from the feta and balsamic glaze…what could be better? This toast makes a delicious appetizer, side dish, or, if you’re like me and eat it all, a main dish!
But whatever your preference is, this Mushroom, Feta and Avocado Toast is a must-make for the summer. It’s’ fresh, fast, and easy. Plus, it just has summer written all over it!
