I don’t know about you guys but I love avocado toast. Whether it is this Southwestern Avocado Toast or this Tropical Avocado Toast I eat it a lot throughout the week. 

I also love to mix it up and rotate this Tomato Toast with Whipped Feta into my toast recipes. My kids like to call it tomato garlic bread. What I love most about this toast is it can be used for a special occasion, breakfast, a snack, an appetizer or even a side to a meal. When I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain there was a pan con tomate recipe that I ate a lot and today’s recipe reminds me a little of that. 

The difference in today’s recipe is that it uses heirloom tomatoes that are cut into slices. I personally love using heirloom tomatoes in the summer on toast because they are so flavorful and juicy but any tomato will work. 

You also could use these Simple Marinated Tomatoes or these Oven Roasted Tomatoes on the toast which pair so nicely with the whipped feta cheese. 

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s an overview of the simple ingredients we’re using. Jump to the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and printable instructions. 

• Bread: I love using sourdough bread for this toast but you can use whatever bread you have on hand. I do find a heartier and thicker bread works great for toast.
• Butter: The butter adds a savory layer to the toast and helps it become crispy. You can also use olive oil.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic adds flavor to the toast. You also can use garlic powder.
• Spices: I love adding za’atar to the toast. You also can add Italian seasoning or sumac for flavor.
• Tomatoes: Fresh heirloom tomatoes work well on this toast. You can use any tomatoes you have from your garden or farmers market.
• Herbs: Fresh herbs add a nice finishing touch. I love fresh basil, fresh parsley or fresh dill.
• Whipped Feta: The whipped feta is my favorite part of this toast. To make the whipped feta you will whip feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice.

How to Make Tomato Feta Toast

Step 1: Prepare Bread: Lay our sourdough bread out on a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of the garlic butter on each piece of bread. Sprinkle za’atar on top of the butter {optional}.

Step 2: Toast Bread: Toast the bread in the oven for 5-8 minutes, until toasted and slightly crispy.

Step 3: Whipped Feta: While the toast bakes add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice to a mixer and mix on medium for 3-4 minutes until whipped. You also could add the ingredients to a small bowl and stir until creamy and smooth.

Remove the toast from the oven and spread the whipped feta on each piece of toast.

Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Herbs: Add the heirloom tomatoes on top of the whipped feta. Sprinkle the fresh basil, parsley and more za’atar {optional}. Serve immediately.

Ways to Modify this Toast

• Cheese: You could use goat cheese in this recipe instead of the feta. You would just sub in the crumbled goat cheese for the feta and whip it so it is soft and can be spread easily. You also could try cream cheese if you want.
• Vegetables: Other vegetables I like to add to this toast is sliced radishes, sun-dried tomatoes, shaved cucumbers, artichokes, sliced red onions or roasted red peppers. 
• Herbs: I love adding fresh herbs to this toast. Some that work nicely are dill, mint, basil, parsley, thyme and oregano. 
• Spices: I used za’atar and sumac to add flavor to this toast. Other spices that are nice on this toast are Italian seasoning, paprika or crushed red pepper. 
• Bread: I used sourdough bread for this toast but any crusty bread works nicely. I have used whole wheat, rosemary and Italian bead. 
• Tomatoes: You can use cherry tomatoes or any variety of tomatoes in place of the heirloom tomatoes. Another option is to add roasted tomatoes and garlic to the toast instead of serving the tomatoes raw.
