Upgraded Avocado Toast

I’ve always felt avocado toast was good but could be something more than just guacamole on bread. This recipe intensifies the flavor of the avocado by adding a rich olive oil and herby flavor from the pesto along with creamy and tangy bits from the crumbled feta. Make sure your bread is toasted very well as it contrasts beautifully and adds bite to the smooth avocado.
