Sweet & Spicy Avocado Toast with Feta
plus Red Pepper Jam, Cucumbers & Crispy Fried Onions
- Soy
- Wheat
- Milk
Here’s a go-to vegetarian lunch idea we couldn’t wait to tell you about. We start with our beloved avocado toast, but up the ante with chewy ciabatta bread as the base. Add crunchy sliced cucumber, sweet red pepper jam, salty feta, fresh dill, and a naughty little topper of crispy fried onions for a harmonious balance of color, texture, and flavor. And for you hotheads out there, sprinkle away with the chili flakes!

Reviews from our home cooks
This is an incredible mix of flavors and textures. I love avocado and make avocado toast often, but the addition of cucumber and the crispy onions is so smart. The jam, feta and chili peppers just make it an over the top amazing dish.
Fantastic ingredient combination!!! It hit all the notes with the creamy avocado, tangy feta, crunchy onions & cucumber, sweet jam, & spicy chili flakes!! My favorite hello fresh item so far!!
OMG so incredibly delicious!!! We now understand the Avocado Toast Craze! The most surprising ingredient was the Red Pepper Jelly?! Loved it!! With the creamy avocado, feta, and crispy fried onions.... BEST recipe we've gotten from HF❤️
WOW you all really stepped this recipe up!!! Best Avocado toast I have ever had. I loved the mixture of the sweet and salty. (Did not put red pepper seeds on it). BRAVO to the Chefs!!!!
I enjoyed this Avocado Toast. It had a nice warm spicy kick to it. The Crispy Fried Onions added another dimension to the flavor profile. I would do this one again.
A very flavorful twist on classic avocado toast. I loved the sweet and savory notes with a slight spice to it. Definitely brightened up my morning.
This is super easy and filling for breakfast. I didn't use the cheese or dill on my toast, as I was in a hurry. The red pepper jam and pepper flakes add a great level of heat and sweetness in contrast to the savoriness of the onion crisps, cucumber and guacamole. I placed the cucumber slice on the top layer as a place to hold the filling in place while eating. The feta and dill were really unnecessary.
Update: We decided to try this one again, even though it was a strange combination of flavors. It warmed on us, so we bumped it up from one star to two, but you really should include 2 packets of red pepper jelly. One tiny little packet is not enough for 2 servings of this avocado toast. Original Feedback: It was an odd combination of flavors. Maybe if there was more sweetness, more jelly, to balance out the spiciness. As it was, the jelly got drowned out by all the other flavors. Felt like if there was more jelly, it would have been more balanced--it was mostly heat, not much sweet. Has potential, but the ratio of ingredients is off.
My husband and I loved this recipe! My husband does not like to mix sweet flavors with spicy, so I did not add the jam for his, but I added extra for mine cause I love it!
Never want a plain avocado toast again. Great flavor. The cucumber was a bit soggy though so I substituted it with what I had in my fridge
