Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large ripe avocados
- 1 whole grain baguette, sliced
- ¼ cup (60 mL) crumbled feta
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F, positioning rack centrally for uniform toasting.
- Bread Transformation: Layer baguette slices on baking tray, ensuring minimal overlap, and crisp until golden edges emerge, roughly 7-8 minutes.
- Avocado Artistry: Halve ripe avocados, extract pit, and transfer flesh into mixing bowl. Splash lime juice, then mash with fork to create creamy yet textured spread.
- Assembly Technique: Once bread cools slightly, lavishly coat each slice with avocado mixture, creating a smooth foundation.
- Flavor Elevation: Generously sprinkle crumbled feta across avocado surface, then cascade chopped walnuts for nuanced crunch and introduce everything bagel seasoning for robust, complex seasoning.
Notes
- Prevent Avocado Browning: Add lime juice immediately after scooping to maintain fresh, vibrant green color and enhance overall taste.
- Achieve Perfect Toast Texture: Monitor bread closely during baking to ensure golden edges without burning, removing from oven at precise 7-8 minute mark.
- Create Smooth Avocado Spread: Mash with fork using gentle pressure, leaving slight chunks for interesting texture and rustic appearance.
- Maximize Flavor Layers: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning last for maximum aromatic impact and crunchy seasoning distribution across mini toasts.
