Ingredients
  

For the Avocado Mixture
  • 2 ripe avocados Choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds Fresh berries can work as a substitution.
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese Crumbled goat cheese can also be used for a milder flavor.
  • to taste fresh herbs Opt for basil or mint to elevate freshness.
For the Base
  • 1 loaf baguette or toast points Toast until golden; gluten-free bread is an excellent alternative.
  • to taste olive oil Use extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust to taste, keeping in mind the feta's saltiness.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice a fresh baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Halve 2 ripe avocados and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash until creamy but slightly chunky. Add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds and 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese into the mashed avocado. Mix carefully to preserve the integrity of the pomegranate seeds.
  4. Remove the toasted baguette from the oven and let cool slightly. Generously spread the avocado mixture on each slice.
  5. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving.
