Step 1 — Mash the avocado first. Scoop the avocado flesh onto a chopping board or into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash it to your preferred consistency — mostly smooth with a few small chunks is the sweet spot. Fold in the diced cherry tomatoes directly into the avocado mash and stir gently to combine.

Step 2 — Toast the bread. Put your bread in the toaster while your avocado is ready to go. Toast until it's evenly golden and properly crisped — not pale and soft, not dark and bitter. The toast should hold up under the avocado without bending or going soggy.

Step 3 — Top, season, and eat. Spread the avocado and tomato mash across the warm toast. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, scatter the hemp seeds and pepitas over the top, and add a tiny pinch of salt only if it needs it. Eat immediately — warm toast, cold creamy avocado, the contrast is part of the whole experience.

Three steps. Five minutes. Done.
