Equipment
Ingredients
For the Herby Cream Cheese:
- 150 grams spreadable cream cheese softened (dairy free or regular)
- 1 tablespoon EACH chopped fresh parsley, chives, and dill
- squeeze of lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Smoked Salmon Bagels:
- canola oil spray for frying
- 2 eggs
- 2 sesame seed or plain bagels
- 1 small avocado sliced
- 100 grams smoked salmon
Instructions
- Make the herby cream cheese. In a small bowl, mix the softened 150 grams spreadable cream cheese with the 1 tablespoon EACH chopped fresh parsley, chives, and dill. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat a small frying pan over medium heat with a light spray of canola oil spray. Crack the 2 eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. If the bottoms are cooking too quickly, cover the pan with a lid to help the whites cook through evenly.
- Slice the 2 sesame seed or plain bagels in half and toast them in a toaster or under a hot grill (broiler) until golden brown.
- Spread a generous layer of the herby cream cheese onto the bottom halves of the toasted bagels. Add the sliced 1 small avocado on top of the cream cheese, followed by the 100 grams smoked salmon.
- Place a fried egg on each bagel and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh dill, if desired.
- Place the top half of the bagel over the egg and gently press down to break the yolk. Enjoy immediately!
