Sourdough, avocado and feta doorsteps

This is one of my all time favourites. The sourdough dipped in extra virgin olive oil and garlic fetish started on a skiing trip. I love it topped with grilled mixed mushrooms, but tomato and basil are great too. And when I don’t have basil, chilli flakes are my go-to. This takes no time at all to assemble and its so fresh and delicious I love it as an option for outdoor brunch. The feta is a moderate source of protein and the bone mineral calcium, the avocado contains healthy fats and the tomatoes the anti-oxidant lycopene. A ʻmustʻ for taste is fresh basil. It provides a little calcium and vitamin K, as well as a range of antioxidants. Enjoy!
