JUMP TO RECIPE
This Bruschetta Avocado Toast was born out of boredom. I was bored with my usual lunches of hard-boiled eggs, tuna salad, and crackers, and I needed something new to have while I was working at home last week. I also just so happen to have avocadoes to use up and tons of garden-fresh tomatoes. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me! I was also inspired by some of Smitten Kitchen’s summer recipes. She is always my go-to for inspiration!

Bruschetta Avocado Toast Recipe
Servings: 6
Total Time: 10 minutes
6 slices of bread
2 ripe avocadoes
1 pint cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/2 English cucumber, chopped
1/2 small shallot, minced
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
A handful of basil, chopped
A handful of parsley, chopped
4 chives or 2 scallions, sliced
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
Toast the slices of bread. Mash the avocadoes in a large bowl. Divide the avocado among the 6 slices of toast. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the feta.
Divide the tomato-cucumber salad over the avocado toasts, being careful not to use too much of the tomato juices. Top each toast with the feta.
Variations
You can definitely get creative with this and add additional vegetables to the bruschetta topping, like some grilled zucchini or eggplant. I think that would be delicious. Or maybe you don’t like feta? Try swapping it for some Ricotta Salata or a hard cheese like grated Pecorino Romano.
Cooking Notes
- You can make the components of this recipe before you serve it, but it should not be assembled until right before eating as the toast will start to get soggy from the tomato-cucumber salad.
- This is easily made vegan by leaving off the feta cheese or replacing it with crumbled cashew cheese or nutritional yeast.
