Toppings

Method

Bagel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bagels

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the everything bagels in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bagels

    Toast the bagels in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.

Whipped Scallion Cream Cheese

  1. 3

    Whip the Cream Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip it until smooth and creamy.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Finely chop the scallions and add them to the whipped cream cheese along with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Guacamole and Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Guacamole

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.

  2. 6

    Season the Guacamole

    Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mashed avocado, mixing to combine. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 7

    Prepare Tomato

    Slice the beefsteak tomato into thick slices.

  4. 8

    Make the Glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey and fresh orange juice to create the honey citrus glaze.

  5. 9

    Glaze the Arugula
