Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 4 slices sourdough bread
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Halloumi
- 6 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- Microgreens or fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the sourdough: Toast the 4 slices of sourdough bread until they reach your preferred level of crispness, either in a toaster or on a skillet.
- Pan-fry the halloumi: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until each side turns golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the avocado mash: While the halloumi is cooking, mash the ripe avocado in a bowl. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice along with salt and black pepper to taste, then mix well.
- Assemble the toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado onto each of the toasted sourdough slices.
- Add the halloumi topping: Place a few crispy halloumi slices on top of the avocado-covered toast slices.
- Drizzle and garnish: Generously drizzle hot honey over the halloumi and sprinkle with chili flakes if desired. Finish by garnishing with microgreens or fresh herbs if using.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the toast fresh to appreciate the combination of warm cheese and cool avocado with a honey-spicy kick.
Notes
- You can make your own hot honey by gently warming honey with a pinch of chili flakes to infuse the spice.
- For extra texture and flavor, add sliced radishes or pickled onions as toppings.
- This recipe works wonderfully with multigrain or rye bread instead of sourdough.
