Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Bagels

    Preheat your toaster or toaster oven to a medium-high setting. If you prefer, you can also use an oven set to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Slice the Bagels

    Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each jumbo bagel in half horizontally. If you are using everything bagels, be mindful of the toppings while slicing.

Toasting

  1. 3

    Toast the Bagels

    Place the sliced bagels in the toaster or toaster oven. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. If using an oven, place them cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes.

Assembly

    Spread Cream Cheese

    Once toasted, spread a generous amount of cream cheese on the cut side of each bagel half.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Chop fresh chives and sprinkle them over the cream cheese. Add slices of tomato and a few capers on top. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the bagel halves on a plate and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your toasted jumbo bagels plain or with all the toppings!
