Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Ripe Avocados: Choose avocados that yield slightly when pressed; they should be firm but not hard.
Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes add a fresh burst of color and flavor.
Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta provides a tangy contrast to the creamy avocado—don’t skip it!
Fresh Cilantro: Adds an aromatic freshness; feel free to use parsley if cilantro isn’t your thing.
Lemon Juice: A splash of lemon juice not only brightens the flavors but keeps the avocado from browning.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasoning—adjust according to your taste preferences.
Pine Nuts or Seeds (optional): For an added crunch, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or your favorite seeds on top.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Avocados: Start by cutting the avocados in half lengthwise and removing the pit carefully without losing a finger. Scoop out just a bit more flesh if needed to create room for toppings.

Make Your Topping Mixture: In a bowl, combine chopped cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is well combined.

Fill Those Boats!: Spoon generous amounts of the topping mixture into each avocado half. Don’t be shy—pack them in there as if you’re trying to win an avocado boat race.

Add Crunch (if using): If you’re feeling adventurous (and let’s face it—you should be), sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or seeds on top for an extra crunch that will send taste buds dancing.

Serve and Enjoy!: Place your beautifully filled avocado boats on a plate. You might want to take a moment to photograph them for social media because they’re just that gorgeous! Then dig in and enjoy every creamy bite!

Whether you’re enjoying these breakfast avocado boats solo or sharing them with family and friends, they’re sure to bring smiles—and perhaps some happy dance moves—to the breakfast table!
