"Cheese - milk's leap toward immortality." -Clifton Paul Fadiman
The refrigerator light goes on...
The sweet umami flavor of the caramelized shallot goes perfectly with the sharp, salty taste of the feta cheese. Serve this topped with a poached egg for a perfect Sunday brunch dish.
The great thing is the tartness of the capers and lemon juice along with the other rich flavors helps reduce the amount of added salt you need to make the dish really delicious and balanced.

This recipe can easily be multiplied but does not make good leftovers.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 large shallots (thinly sliced)
- 1 small avocado
- 1/16 tsp. salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 lemon (juiced)
- 1 ounce feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 slices whole grain or gluten free bread
Place a small skillet over medium.
When the skillet is hot add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat.
Add the shallots and toss to coat well. Sauté for about 10 minutes until caramelized.
Adjust the heat so that the shallots brown but do not burn.
When the shallots are cooked, set aside.
While the shallots are roasting, mash the avocado in a small bowl.
Add the salt, pepper, and lemon juice, and fold together.
Toast the bread and then spread the avocado mixture on top.
Top with the caramelized shallot and then the crumbled feta.
Serve.
