Gather ingredients: bread, ripe avocados, lime, salt, fresh ground pepper, and optional ingredients like olive oil, balsamic reduction, sriracha, hickory smoked salt, stewed tomatoes, crushed red pepper, onion, and everything bagel seasoning.

Test avocados for ripeness by gently pressing the top; if it gives slightly, it's ripe. Dark skin indicates ripeness.

Prepare the bread: use cranberry breakfast bread and rye bread, including a roll that is slightly dried out. Toast the bread in a ninja toaster, grill, or traditional toaster.

Cut the avocado by running a knife around it, twist to separate, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Mash the avocado in a bowl, leaving some chunks for texture.

Zest half a lime over the mashed avocado, then squeeze half of the lime juice onto it to prevent browning and enhance flavor. Mix gently to combine.

Season the avocado mash with salt and pepper, stirring gently to maintain some texture. Toast should be ready at this point.

Assemble the toast: for sliced avocado, push down slightly on the bread and season with everything bagel seasoning and onion for garnish. Drizzle a tiny amount (1/8 teaspoon) of olive oil on top if desired.

For additional variations, add stewed tomatoes, smoked salt, or balsamic reduction to different pieces of toast. Optionally drizzle sriracha on top for extra flavor.

Plate the toast, cut into pieces for easier eating, and garnish with slices of orange.
