Ingredients List

Bread: 1 whole grain baguette (sliced)
Avocados: 4 large ripe avocados
Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon (to prevent browning)
Feta Cheese: 1/4 cup crumbled
Walnuts: 1/2 cup chopped
Everything Bagel Seasoning: 2 tablespoons (Made from sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, minced onion, and minced garlic)

Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 7 minutes or until they’re golden and crisp. Set them aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Avocado Mixture: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Add the lime juice to prevent browning and mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.

Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto each toasted baguette slice. Make sure to cover the surface evenly for the best flavor.

Add the Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the avocado spread. Then, add chopped walnuts for crunch and a boost of healthy fats. Finish with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning to enhance the flavor.

Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the toasts on a serving platter or rustic wooden board. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. If you need to prepare them ahead, keep the avocado mixture separate and assemble right before serving.

Optional Variations:

For extra protein, add sliced boiled eggs or smoked turkey.
Add a drizzle of honey for a sweet twist.
For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce on top.

How to Serve

These Miniature Avocado Toasts are perfect as appetizers for brunches, cocktail parties, or casual gatherings. Arrange them on a beautiful tray or board for an elegant presentation. Pair them with fresh fruit, charcuterie boards, or light salads to create a complete spread. For a breakfast-themed event, serve alongside scrambled eggs and fresh juice. They’re also great for picnic-style meals when served with cold beverages.

Pairing Suggestions

For a balanced and delightful spread, consider pairing these toasts with:

Freshly squeezed orange juice or a refreshing iced tea for a brunch setup.
Light and crispy vegetable sticks with hummus for a healthier option.
Smoothies or fruit parfaits if serving for breakfast or brunch.
Chilled cucumber and mint water for a refreshing and palate-cleansing drink.
Middle Eastern-inspired dishes like tabbouleh or fattoush for a themed gathering.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Storage: If you have leftover toasts, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Keep in mind that the avocado may darken slightly, but the lime juice helps preserve its freshness.

Freezing: It’s best not to freeze the assembled toasts since the avocado mixture can turn watery and lose its creamy texture. However, you can freeze the toasted baguette slices separately and use them later.

Reheating: If you need to refresh the bread, simply pop it back in the oven for a couple of minutes until it’s crisp again. Make sure to reapply the avocado mixture just before serving for the best flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the Lime Juice: Without lime juice, your avocado mixture will turn brown quickly and lose its vibrant color.
Using Overly Ripe Avocados: Super soft avocados can result in a watery mixture. Choose ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.
Not Toasting the Bread Enough: Soft bread won’t hold the avocado mixture well. Make sure to toast the baguette slices until they’re golden and crisp.
Overloading the Toppings: While delicious, too many toppings can make the toasts difficult to eat and messy to serve.
Making Them Too Far Ahead: Assembling the toasts too early will result in soggy bread. Always prepare them right before serving for the best experience.

Pro Tips

Choose Ripe Avocados: Slightly firm avocados with a gentle give when squeezed are perfect for mashing.
Use Fresh Bread: A day-old baguette works well since it toasts beautifully without being overly dry.
Make Your Own Everything Bagel Seasoning: Mix sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and flaky sea salt for a fresh and flavorful topping.
Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the toasts right after assembling.
Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle some chopped parsley or chives on top for a pop of freshness and color.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I make the avocado mixture ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the avocado mixture a few hours before serving. Just cover it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
What if I don’t have everything bagel seasoning? You can make your own by mixing sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and flaky salt.
