Why It Works
  • The combination of avocado, feta cheese, and tomatoes is a classic for a reason. The creamy avocado provides a rich base, while the salty feta cheese and bright tomatoes add flavor and texture.
  • Baking the avocado helps to soften it and make it even more creamy. The heat also helps to melt the feta cheese, creating a gooey and delicious topping.
  • The oregano adds a subtle herbal flavor to the dish, while the salt and pepper help to balance out the flavors.
  • The fresh cilantro adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
