Before diving into the delightful process of creating Mini Avocado Toast Bagel Bites, it’s crucial to preheat your oven. Set it to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature when you place your bagel bites inside. Preheating the oven not only helps achieve the perfect golden-brown crust but also ensures your toppings melt nicely if you're adding cheese or other ingredients that require warming.

Ingredients
  

4 mini bagels (around 2 inches in diameter)

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Bagels: Slice each mini bagel in half horizontally, creating two halves per bagel. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

      Toast the Bagels: Bake the bagel halves in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are lightly toasted and golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

        Prepare the Avocado Mixture: While the bagels are toasting, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mash the mixture with a fork until it reaches your desired creaminess.

          Assemble the Bites: Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto each bagel half, spreading it evenly.

            Add Toppings: Top each avocado-covered bagel half with halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over them if desired. Optional: drizzle a little more olive oil for extra flavor.

              Final Toast (Optional): If you prefer a warm and slightly melty topping, return the assembled bagel bites to the oven for another 3-5 minutes.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the bagel bites from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if using. Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
