Ingredients

Toast and Spread

  • 2 pieces thick cut bakery style rustic bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Avocado Mixture

  • 1 avocado
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Toppings

  • 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Za’atar seasoning, to taste
  • Pickled red onions, amount as desired
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Flaky salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the thick cut rustic bread slices until golden brown and crispy. Then spread each slice lightly with high-quality butter to add richness and flavor.
  2. Prepare Avocado Mixture: In a bowl, combine the avocado and lemon juice. Smash them together using a fork until you achieve a chunky, creamy texture.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over each buttered toast slice. Layer a generous amount of thinly sliced Persian cucumber on top of the avocado.
  4. Add Seasonings and Toppings: Sprinkle each toast with a hearty pinch of za’atar seasoning and top with thinly sliced pickled red onions. Finish by crumbling the feta cheese over the top.
  5. Season to Taste: Finally, sprinkle flaky salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance all the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant cucumber toast with avocado.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut rustic or sourdough bread for best results and texture.
  • If you prefer, substitute butter with olive oil for a healthier fat option.
  • Pickled red onions can be store-bought or homemade for added tanginess.
  • Za’atar adds a unique Middle Eastern flavor, but you can adjust the amount based on your taste.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs like mint or parsley for extra freshness.
