Cut the baguette into 12 equal slices about 1–1.2 cm thick. Arrange the slices individually on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top-bottom). Using a kitchen brush, gently brush the top of each slice with a thin layer of olive oil (about half the amount of oil from the recipe). Lightly sprinkle with salt (it's easy to oversalt). Bake in the middle of the oven for 8–10 minutes, turning the slices every 4–5 minutes, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Description
Avocado paste tartines are light, colorful, and elegant appetizers — perfect for New Year's Eve 2025. These small sandwiches on crispy baguette are topped with a creamy paste made from ripe avocado with a hint of lime and garlic, decorated with fresh cherry tomatoes and herbs. The dish combines the creamy texture of the paste with the crunchiness of the toasts, has a pleasant, slightly tangy taste, and an appetizing green-red appearance. Serve immediately after preparation as a snack with sparkling wine or cocktails; you can enhance the tartines with toppings (feta or smoked salmon) depending on your guests' preferences.

Preparation steps
Preparing the slices
Avocado Pasta
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, carefully hit the pit with a knife and twist the halves to separate. Remove the pit with a knife and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl using a spoon. Finely chop a clove of garlic (or press it through a garlic press) and add it to the avocado. Squeeze the juice of a lime (about 30 ml) directly into the bowl to prevent browning and add acidity. Add the remaining olive oil (a few ml) along with 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of pepper. Finely chop the cilantro and add half of it to the mixture. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the ingredients until you achieve a uniform but still slightly chunky consistency – this will take 2–4 minutes. Taste and adjust with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Assembly and decoration
Remove the baked slices from the oven and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. Using a teaspoon, evenly spread a portion of avocado paste (about 25–35 g of paste per slice) on each slice. On top of each tartine, place half a cherry tomato cut side up. For the feta version: crumble some feta cheese and sprinkle it on a few tartines. For the salmon version: place a thin slice of smoked salmon on a few tartines instead of the tomato or next to it. Sprinkle everything with the remaining cilantro and optionally freshly ground pepper. Drizzle very lightly with olive oil just before serving.
Serving and storage
Arrange the finished tartines on a large tray in a single layer (do not stack them). Serve immediately while the slices are still slightly warm or at room temperature. If preparing in advance: store the avocado paste in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To reduce browning on the surface of the paste, press plastic wrap directly onto the paste and seal tightly, or add a bit more lime juice.
Fun Fact
Avocado comes from the regions of Central and South America and has been valued by the Aztecs for centuries. Its creamy texture has made it extremely popular since the 1980s in the form of dips and spreads, especially in international cuisine.

Tips
Serve the tartines immediately after assembling, preferably on a large, flat tray. They pair well with bubbles (champagne, prosecco) or light wines. When serving, arrange the vegetarian and salmon versions separately so that guests can easily choose.
Store the avocado paste in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, pressing the surface with plastic wrap. Store the baked slices separately in a closed container at room temperature for up to 24 hours and refresh in the oven just before serving. Long-term storage after spreading the paste is not recommended, as the baguette will become soft.
