Begin by preheating a toaster or setting your oven to broil. Place slices of hearty bread on the rack. Toast until golden brown, about 2–4 minutes.

While the bread toasts, cut ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mash until creamy.

Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper to taste.

Layer halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls on top. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and garnish with fresh basil.

Combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a bowl, adding lime juice. Spoon the salsa over the avocado toast base.

Spread cream cheese on toasted bread, layer with avocado mash, then top with smoked salmon, diced cucumbers, and red onions.

Cook bacon until crispy and set aside. Fry eggs sunny-side-up, then layer on the avocado mash with bacon and eggs on top.

Spread cream cheese on toasted bread, layer with avocado, and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
