Begin by making the almond feta. Soak 1 cup of almonds in hot water for 1 hour to soften them. Drain and rinse the almonds.
In a food processor, combine soaked almonds, 1 clove of garlic, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 cup of water. Blend until a smooth mixture forms.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the mixture and pulse a few more times to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. This can be made ahead of time.
For the toast, first lightly toast the 4 slices of chosen bread to your desired crispness.
While the bread is toasting, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash the mixture to your desired consistency.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and chop the fresh basil leaves coarsely.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Top each slice with a generous amount of almond feta, then add a handful of halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top for additional flavor and serve immediately.
