Wash the cherry tomatoes under cold running water and drain in a colander. Cut them in half or quarters depending on their size (time: 2-3 minutes). Peel the red onion, cut it in half and slice it into very thin half-moons (time: 3-4 minutes). Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small bowl (about 30 ml). Peel and finely chop the garlic (1-2 cloves) or use a garlic press (1-2 minutes).
Description
Creamy avocado sandwiches are a quick, elegant, and very impressive snack perfect for New Year's Eve 2025. The flesh of ripe avocado mashed with lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic creates a velvety paste that we spread on crispy, lightly toasted slices of bread. The dish combines the freshness of tomatoes and onions with a slightly salty note of feta (optional) and a spicy touch of chili flakes or fresh sprouts. The sandwiches are filling, full of healthy fats, and look beautiful — the green paste with red tomatoes and white pieces of feta creates a color contrast that catches the eye. Serve immediately after preparation, with sparkling wine or slightly sour cider.

Preparation steps
Ingredient Preparation
Avocado Pasta
Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, twist the halves and separate them. Remove the pit using a spoon or by gently hitting it with a knife and pulling it out (time: 1 minute). Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl with a spoon. Add 30 ml of lemon juice, 30 g of olive oil, chopped garlic, 2 g of salt, and 1 g of pepper. Use a fork (or a manual masher) and mash the ingredients until you achieve a creamy but slightly chunky consistency — work for about 1–2 minutes. If you prefer a smooth paste, blend briefly with an immersion blender for 10–15 seconds.
Preparation of toppings
If you are using red onion, you can briefly salt it now (a pinch) and squeeze out the excess moisture so it doesn't make the sandwiches soggy (time: 2–3 minutes). Mix the chopped cherry tomatoes with a little salt and a teaspoon of olive oil, set aside for 2–3 minutes to release some juice — then drain on a paper towel so the sandwiches are not too watery.
Bread preparation
Toast the bread: set the toaster to medium power and toast the slices until golden brown (about 2–3 minutes). If using an oven, preheat to 200°C and bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 6–8 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy. Alternatively, heat a pan with a small amount of oil and fry the slices for 1.5–2 minutes on each side over medium heat.
Sandwich Assembly
Spread approximately 50 g of avocado paste evenly on each toasted slice (400 g of avocado ÷ 8 slices = 50 g per slice). Use a spoon to spread the paste with the back of the spoon, creating a smooth layer. Evenly distribute the chopped cherry tomatoes and thin slices of onion on top. If you are using feta, sprinkle it now with finely crumbled feta (about 10 g of feta per slice). Lightly sprinkle with chili flakes if you want some heat. Drizzle everything gently with olive oil (a few drops).
Finishing and serving
Serve the sandwiches immediately — best on a large platter. Before serving, you can add a teaspoon of extra oil on top and a few leaves of fresh cilantro or parsley, if you like. Cut the sandwiches in half for easier eating during the party (time: 1–2 minutes).
Storage and organization
If you need to store avocado paste, transfer it to an airtight container, smooth the surface, and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the paste to limit air exposure. Chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to use, you can refresh it with lemon juice. Store toasted slices separately in a closed container for up to 24 hours, and before serving, toast them for 1–2 minutes to regain their crispness.
Fun Fact
Avocados were cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans; in the Nahuatl language, the fruit was called ahuácatl, which gave rise to the word 'avocado' and associations with its fatty, creamy flesh.

Tips
Serve the sandwiches immediately after assembling, on a large tray. Place bowls with extra chili flakes, crumbled feta, and lemon wedges alongside, so guests can season to their liking. For a heartier version, add a slice of smoked salmon or slices of smoked tofu (optional).
Store the avocado paste in an airtight container for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, with plastic wrap directly on the surface to minimize browning. Keep the toasted slices separately in a closed container and briefly reheat before serving. Do not freeze the paste — the texture and flavor will deteriorate.
