Ingredients
  

6 mini bagels (choose plain or everything bagels for added flavor)

2 ripe avocados

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 small garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for extra creaminess)

Fresh basil or cilantro leaves, for garnish

Red pepper flakes, for an optional spicy kick

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your bagels toast perfectly.

    Prepare the Bagels: Carefully slice the mini bagels in half, yielding 12 halves. Arrange the halves cut-side up on a baking sheet, making sure to space them slightly apart.

      Toast the Bagels: Lightly brush the cut sides of the bagels with olive oil for flavor and crisping. Place them in the preheated oven and toast for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

        Make the Avocado Spread: As the bagels toast, scoop the creamy flesh of the ripe avocados into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a fork to mash the ingredients together until you achieve a creamy yet slightly chunky texture, infusing the spread with fresh flavors.

          Assemble the Bagel Bites: Once the bagels are toasted to your liking, remove them from the oven. Generously spread the creamy avocado mixture over each bagel half, ensuring each bite is full of flavor.

            Top with Toppings: Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the avocado spread, adding vibrant color and freshness. If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it generously over the top for an additional layer of taste.

              Garnish: Enhance the visual appeal and flavor by adding a few fresh leaves of basil or cilantro on each bagel bite. If you enjoy heat, finish by sprinkling a dash of red pepper flakes on top.

                Serve: Before serving, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the assembled bagel bites to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.
