Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (soft but not mushy)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil or cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 crackers or pieces of crisp bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to keep the avocado bright and prevent browning.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Avocado: Soften the cream cheese in a separate bowl by stirring well. Fold the cream cheese together with the mashed avocado until smooth and evenly combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and avocado mixture onto your choice of crackers or crisp bread. Top each bite with halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for color and flavor.
  4. Final Touches: Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil or balsamic reduction over the bites for extra flair. Serve immediately to maintain the crisp texture and fresh taste.

Notes

  • Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
  • Soften cream cheese ahead of time for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
  • Lemon or lime juice is essential to prevent avocado browning.
  • Choose sturdy crackers or toasted bread to avoid sogginess and add texture.
  • Assemble bites just before serving to keep everything fresh and delicious.
