Happy Monday, friends!
Can you believe we’re already at the end of June? The summer feels like it’s flying by, and we just got started.
I’ve mentioned this before, but one of my favorite things about summer is the farmer’s markets in my area. I absolutely love browsing through their fresh selection of fruits, veggies, and other goodies. It just screams summer and all things deliciousness!
Though there are many different farmer’s markets in my area, I usually go to the same one or two, just for convenience sake. And one thing that I usually load up on every week (besides ALL the fruit) is avocados.
I usually have a hard time picking out avocados from my grocery store, as they’re either too mushy, too hard, or just plain gross. But when I see the selection at the farmer’s market, I feel a lot better about my decision. After all, picking a ripe (and delicious) avocado takes some skill, at least for me!
So, of course I headed home and had to whip something up with the ten billion avocados I hoarded.
This Mushroom, Avocado and Feta Toast combines fresh mushrooms, ripe avocado and creamy feta cheese, piled high on toasted bread and drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This simple toast makes a deliciously easy appetizer or side dish!
And you know me, I loooove mushrooms, so this seemed like a natural fit for some avocado toast. And feta, because you can’t forget the cheese. Or the balsamic glaze. It adds the finishing touch and the perfect amount of flavor for each bite.
This Mushroom, Avocado and Feta Toast is so easy to whip up! But, you knew that was coming, right? I used a french baguette for the bread, but feel free to use whatever you have on-hand. I popped it into the oven to broil for a few minutes, just to get that nice, golden, crispy texture.
Next comes the mushrooms! I sauteed them in some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Easy peasy! Once the toast is ready, pile on those mushrooms, add some chopped avocado (or sliced, if you prefer!), a sprinkling of crumbled feta, and a touch of balsamic glaze. And to make things even easier, I used the bottled glaze that you can find near the olive oils in your local grocery store.
One bit and you’ll be hooked on the savory flavors. The seasoned mushrooms, the creamy avocado, the bite from the feta and balsamic glaze…what could be better? This toast makes a delicious appetizer, side dish, or, if you’re like me and eat it all, a main dish!
But whatever your preference is, this Mushroom, Feta and Avocado Toast is a must-make for the summer. It’s’ fresh, fast, and easy. Plus, it just has summer written all over it!

I am so ashamed to say I have YET to go to the farmer’s market this summer! I feel self deprived!! But, in my defense, things have been super crazy over here. We spent the weekend moving some of our things into the new house, but once we are fully moved in and things have settled down the farmer’s market and I have dates on repeat! 😉 LOVING this toast!! I remember when toast was just bread and butter, and now toast is so fancy! This one looks just delicious! I love how hearty it is, yet still light and super healthy! I could use a few slices of this right about now! Pinned! Cheers, friend!
You have a good excuse for not going…your new house! Yay! 🙂 Thanks for the toast love and pin, friend!
Summer is really only starting here this past week so the markets are only kinda just beginning, but now? Watch out! Love visiting farmer’s markets! And love me some avocado…and toast…and mushrooms…and vinegar….basically you made this for me, right?? Funny how I didn’t like avocados before and now I could eat them all day, every day. Pinning this gorgeous app and trying soon. This is the kind of stuff I LOVE to eat! Happy Monday, my friend 🙂
Aren’t farmers markets the best?! I could eat avocados every day, too. Thanks, Dawn!
All of my faves in one place! Love the balsamic on there as a finisher. I love savory breakfasts and this is what I would eat. Would love to have you join our meatless Monday link up today
Thank you, Deborah! Savory breakfasts are so good!
This would make the perfect quick summer lunch with some extra fruits and veggies! Such a fun idea Gayle!
Thanks, Ashley!
I don’t ever see avocados at my farmers market which is crazy! I know what you mean too — the avocados at the store are so sketchy. They can be mushy or hard and have dark spots when you cut into them which is so annoying. These toasts are right up my alley with those piles of mushrooms — these are such a great appetizer but I wouldn’t be opposed to making a meal out of them! 🙂
That is strange that your farmer’s market doesn’t have avocados! Thanks for the toast love, Marcie!
I can’t believe 4th of July is next week. And I’ve been to the Farmer’s Market just once so far… I’ll start going every week 🙂 These toasts look amazing and I can’t with to try them! Mushrooms are my favorite!
This summer is flying by! Thanks, Mira!
We can never have too many exciting appetizer recipes, especially for the summer months! These look delectable, my friend! Pinned!
Definitely not! Thanks, Annie.
Oh my goodness…sauteed mushrooms + avocado in one bite?! My heaven!
I’ve never seen an avocado at our farmer’s market…so jealous that you have them in your neck of the woods! I bet they are AH-MAZING!
Thanks, Blair! Mushrooms and avocado make the best combo!
I love small bites and these have all of my favorite flavors. Love this idea Gayle!
Thank you, Lindsay!
I could make a meal out of this! Love the drizzle of balsamic on top!
Thanks, Jessica!
Ugh I’ve been so annoyed lately with the avocados at my grocery store – they are all complete mush!! So not cool! haha Anyway, these toasts sound soooo good!!
Thanks, Ashley!
Between my garden and my local farm, my fridge is packed with summer produce! I just love it. I love these mushroom, avocado, and feta toasts, Gayle. It’s all of my favorite things together!
Yay for summer produce! Thanks, Keri!
I love this combination ????
Thanks!
