1/4 cup feta cheese, cubed
A handful of mixed olives (green and Kalamata)
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish
Salt and pepper, to taste
A drizzle of olive oil (optional)
Instructions:
Boil the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Once done, transfer the eggs to cold water to cool, peel, and cut them in half.
Prepare the Toast
While the eggs are boiling, toast the slice of whole-grain bread. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread, then top with fresh tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the Plate 
On a serving plate, carefully arrange the halved eggs, cucumber slices, avocado toast, feta cheese cubes, and mixed olives in a visually appealing manner.
Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the plate for a pop of color and added freshness. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the feta and tomatoes to enhance the Mediterranean flavor.

Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Tip: This plate is best served fresh for maximum flavor. The combination of soft-boiled eggs and fresh vegetables is a delight when everything is at its peak.
Storing Leftovers: While this dish is meant to be enjoyed immediately, leftovers can be stored separately (e.g., eggs, vegetables, and bread) in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a day. Be mindful that the avocado toast may not store well, as it can become soggy.
For a Quick Version: If you’re short on time, you can substitute the soft-boiled eggs with a quick scrambled egg or hard-boiled eggs, and prepare the toast in advance.
