Ingredients
  

6 mini bagels (choose plain or whole grain for added nutrition)

2 ripe avocados

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 small garlic clove, finely minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled (optional, for creaminess)

Fresh basil or cilantro leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for a light drizzle

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) to allow it to warm up while you prepare the bagels.

    Prepare the Bagels: Slice each mini bagel in half horizontally. Arrange them cut-side up on a baking tray. Place the tray in the oven and toast the bagels for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until they are warm and have developed a slightly crisp texture.

      Make the Avocado Mash: In a medium mixing bowl, carefully scoop the flesh from the ripe avocados. Add in the fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. If you enjoy a little heat, include the red pepper flakes. Mash the mixture with a fork until it's creamy but still has some chunky bits for texture.

        Assemble the Bagel Bites: Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the oven. Spread a generous layer of the creamy avocado mash over each bagel half, ensuring they are well-coated.

          Add Toppings: Garnish each avocado-covered bagel half with halved cherry tomatoes, which will add a burst of color and flavor. For those who enjoy feta cheese, sprinkle a bit on top of some of the bagel halves to elevate the flavor profile.

            Final Touches: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the assembled bagel bites to enhance the richness. Finish with a scattering of fresh basil or cilantro leaves to add a pop of color and freshness.

              Serve: Arrange the completed bagel bites on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed warm or served at room temperature. These delightful bites make for an excellent party appetizer, a quick snack, or a fun addition to a brunch spread!
