Garlic and onion powder
Chili Powder
Smoked paprika or chipotle seasoning - these will give a greater depth of smoky flavor
Smoked salt

How to Prep Avocado Toast with Feta Ahead of Time

I don’t recommend preparing the avocados until ready to eat, but if you really want to save time, mash the avocado in advance and press plastic wrap firmly over the surface so no air can get to it.
Place in the refrigerator immediately. Refrigerate overnight (but no longer than this).

Recipe Notes

If you have leftover avocado toast, add lunch meat and turn it into a sandwich.
Black pepper, cayenne pepper, or even smoked paprika can be added to the avocado mixture for an added kick.
When spreading the mashed avocado over the bread slices, place a heaping pile in the center of the piece of bread and spread from the center all the way to the outer edges.
Once an avocado has been opened, it’s only good for a few days. See tips below on how to keep avocado fresh longer.
You can make this recipe gluten free simply by subbing your favorite gluten free toast.

Tips & Tricks

Avocados should be stored at room temperature. Only put them in the fridge if they are getting overly ripe or if you are trying to extend their shelf life.
Dice the avocado in the shell and use a spoon to scoop it into a bowl before mashing.
Keep the pit and place it in the container with the mashed avocado to help keep it from oxidizing and turning brown.
You can also use an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice or lime juice to help prevent oxidation.

How to Store Leftover Avocado

Leftover mashed avocado should be refrigerated in an airtight container immediately. Try to leave as little space for air as possible in the container, this will help delay the avocado turning brown due to oxidation.

How Long Does Feta Cheese Last

On average, feta cheese will usually last 1 week in the refrigerator. If it smells overly ripe or yeasty, it may be past its shelf life. Also, look for visible signs of mold or bacteria.

How to Toast Sourdough Bread in the Oven

You can toast sourdough bread in the oven at 400 degrees F, in a toaster oven, under the broiler, or even on a skillet or grill top. Lightly brush the slice of sourdough with some olive oil. Then toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown and slightly crisp.

FAQs About Avocados

Can you store fresh avocados in water?

It is not recommended to store whole avocados with skin in water. You can store sliced avocado without the outer skin in water. Place sliced or smashed avocado in an even layer in an airtight container, then cover with a thin layer of cold water, cover the container, and place in the refrigerator. Pat them dry with a paper towel before using.

How do you ripen an underripe avocado?

To help speed along the ripening process you can put an avocado in a brown paper bag with a fruit that produces ethylene gas. Common fruits to use are bananas, apples, pears, cherries, citrus fruits, and kiwi.
