Avocado whipped cream

Toppings and mix-ins

Bread and finishing

Method

Avocado whipped cream

1

Prepare avocado

Halve 1 ripe avocado, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

2

Whip

Add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Using a fork or an electric hand mixer, mash and whip until smooth and creamy, with no large lumps. Adjust texture with an extra 1/2 teaspoon yogurt if needed.

Toppings and mix-ins

3

Prep tomato and cilantro

Dice the medium tomato into small 1/4-inch pieces, removing excess seeds and juice if the tomato is very watery. Roughly chop and lightly pack 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves; set both aside.

4

Slice avocado

Halve the second avocado, remove the pit, and slice thinly or fan into 6–8 slices. Keep slices intact on the skin until ready to assemble or place them on a plate and squeeze a few drops of lemon or lime over them to prevent browning (optional).

5

Season toppings

In a small bowl, toss the diced tomato with 2 teaspoons of the chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. This seasons the tomato so it complements the whipped avocado cream.

Bread and assembly

6

Grill/toast sourdough

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the 2 sourdough slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil or spread a thin layer of butter. Grill or toast the bread 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp with visible grill marks. Remove from heat.

7

Spread whipped avocado

Using a spoon or small offset spatula, spread a generous layer (about half of the whipped avocado cream) evenly over each warm sourdough slice so the surface is coated and slightly peaked.

8

Top with slices and tomato

Arrange the sliced avocado on top of the whipped avocado layer. Spoon the seasoned diced tomato over the slices, distributing evenly between the two toasting slices. Scatter the remaining cilantro leaves on top.

9

Finish and season

Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over both toasts (about 1/2 teaspoon per slice, total 1 tsp). Add a light pinch of flaky sea salt if desired, and finish with a tiny squeeze of lemon or lime wedge over each toast for brightness (optional). Serve immediately.
