Chef's Note
"This elevated avocado toast brings together creamy whipped feta and perfectly seasoned smashed avocado for an irresistible combination. The tangy feta adds a luxurious base layer that complements the richness of the avocado beautifully. Fresh cherry tomatoes and basil provide brightness, while a hint of garlic and red pepper flakes give it just the right kick. Perfect for a satisfying breakfast or light lunch!"
