Ingredients
- 2 thick slices toasted sourdough or Greek barley rusks (paximadia)
- 2 large ripe beefsteak tomatoes, coarsely grated (skin discarded)
- 1/2 cup authentic Greek sheep's milk feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Greek oregano & pinch of sea salt
Directions
1
Grate fresh tomatoes
Cut tomatoes in half and grate flesh on large holes of a box grater directly over a bowl; discard skins. Stir in 1 tbsp olive oil and salt.
2
Spoon over toasted bread
Spoon grated tomato pulp generously over toasted bread so juices soak into the crust.
3
Top with feta and oregano
Scatter crumbled feta over tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and dust with oregano.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Use Greek sheep's milk feta stored in brine for authentic tangy, creamy richness.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
