Ingredients
Cheese Spread
- 8 oz. whipped cream cheese
- 4 oz. goat cheese
Avocado Mixture
- 3 large avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 small red onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread and Garnishes
- 1 French sourdough loaf or any rustic bread, enough for 10 1-inch slices
- Edible flowers (optional)
- Poppy seeds (optional, just a sprinkle)
- Sesame seeds (optional, just a sprinkle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Goat Cheese: In a mixing bowl, stir together 8 oz. whipped cream cheese and 4 oz. goat cheese until fully combined and creamy. Set aside for later use.
- Make the Avocado Mixture: Dice the small red onion finely. In another bowl, mash the peeled and pitted avocados using a potato masher. Add the diced onion and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine evenly. Transfer to a container and press cellophane wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent browning.
- Toast the Bread: Slice the French sourdough loaf into 10 slices, each about 1 inch thick. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and toast the bread slices for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of the whipped goat cheese on each toasted slice. Sprinkle one side of each slice with edible flowers if using. Top the other half with a liberal spoonful of the avocado and onion mixture. Optionally, sprinkle sesame and poppy seeds over the avocado for additional flavor and texture.
Notes
- Pressing plastic wrap onto the avocado mixture helps prevent oxidation and keeps the avocado green longer.
- You can substitute the French sourdough with any rustic bread or whole grain bread of your choice.
- For a vegan version, substitute goat cheese and cream cheese with plant-based cream cheeses.
- Edible flowers not only add color but also a delicate flavor to the toast.
- Adjust seasoning of the avocado mix as per taste preference.
