Ingredients
  

4 mini bagels (choose 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 heat)

2 tablespoons cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional, for richness)

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

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it nice and hot for toasting.

    Prepare the Bagels: Carefully slice the mini bagels in half horizontally. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet, ensuring they're spread out for even toasting.

      Toast the Bagels: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for around 5-7 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown and have a crispy texture. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

        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, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if you want a spicy kick. Use a fork to mash the avocados until they're creamy with a few small chunks for texture.

          Assemble the Bagel Bites: Once the bagels are toasted, let them cool for about a minute. Generously spread the avocado mixture on each bagel half, making sure to cover them well.

            Add Toppings: Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the avocado spread. If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle some over the tomatoes for added flavor and creaminess.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh herbs of your choice over the top for a burst of color and taste. Serve these delightful bites immediately while they’re warm and fresh.
