1/2 tsp Garlic

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp white wine vinegar

1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped

1/2 tsp honey or maple syrup

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Method

Avocado spread

Prepare avocado

Halve the avocados lengthwise, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium bowl.

Season and mash

Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (or garlic paste), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining. Taste and adjust salt or lemon as needed. Keep covered at room temperature while you prepare the rest.

Cherry tomatoes & vinaigrette

Halve tomatoes

Place 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes in a small bowl.

Make lemon-herb vinaigrette

Whisk together 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar, 1.5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup), 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon chopped chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until emulsified.

Toss tomatoes

Pour the vinaigrette over the halved tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to marry flavors.

Bread & assembly

Toast bread

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each bread slice lightly with butter or olive oil. Toast the slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, or use a toaster/oven broiler and watch closely to avoid burning.

Spread avocado

Divide the avocado spread evenly among the 4 toasted bread slices, spreading to the edges in a roughly 1/4-inch layer.

Top with tomatoes & seasoning

Spoon the marinated cherry tomatoes over the avocado on each slice, dividing them evenly. Sprinkle about 1/4 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning over each toast (total ~1 tablespoon across all toasts) and finish with a light pinch of flaky sea salt to taste.

Serve

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
