Ingredients
  

4 mini bagels (choose either plain or whole grain)

2 ripe avocados

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

2 tablespoons cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional for creaminess)

Fresh herbs for garnish (such as cilantro, chives, or parsley)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot when your bagels are ready to toast.

    Prepare the Bagels: Take the mini bagels and slice each one in half horizontally. Arrange the bagel halves cut side up on a baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them for even toasting.

      Toast the Bagels: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bagel halves for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and toasted to your liking. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-toasting.

        Make the Avocado Spread: While the bagels are toasting, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a mixing bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if you’re adding spice. Use a fork to mash the avocados until you reach a creamy yet slightly chunky consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Assemble the Bagel Bites: Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about a minute so you can handle them comfortably. Generously spread the creamy avocado mixture onto each bagel half, ensuring they are well-coated.

            Add Toppings: Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the avocado spread. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish by adorning the bagel bites with a sprinkle of your chosen fresh herbs for added freshness and visual appeal. Serve these delightful mini bagel bites immediately while they are still warm for the best taste experience.
