  • Medium-sized Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French loaf into thick slices, about an inch wide, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over each slice, then rub a whole garlic clove across the surface; season generously with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown, crispy, and fragrant. Let it cool slightly to enhance the toasting process.
  2. While the toast is baking, prepare the avocado mixture. Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the creamy flesh into a medium-sized bowl and mash it with a fork until it's chunky but smooth. Stir in minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. For the first variation, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them until the whites are set yet the yolks remain slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, carefully place the fried eggs on the prepared toast and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
  4. For the second variation, in a small mixing bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let them marinate while the toast cools slightly. Then, spoon the tangy tomato mixture onto your avocado toast and top with fresh basil leaves.
  5. For the Mediterranean twist, crumble feta cheese over the avocado spread on your toast. Add pitted olives sliced in half. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano and a light drizzle of olive oil.
