Bagel & Cream Cheese

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bagels

    Slice the bagels in half horizontally using a sharp knife. If you prefer toasted bagels, place them in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Spread the Cream Cheese

    Using a butter knife, spread an even layer of cream cheese on the cut side of each bagel half. Use more or less cream cheese based on your preference.

  3. 3

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle fresh dill over the cream cheese for added flavor. Add capers on top for a salty touch. If you're adding gravlax, layer it over the cream cheese evenly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the bagel halves on a plate. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
