Bagel Sandwich Components

Scallion Schmear

Method

Scallion Schmear Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Cream Cheese

    In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese. Soften it slightly by leaving it at room temperature for about 15 minutes if it's too hard to mix.

  2. 2

    Chop the Scallions

    Finely chop the scallions, using both the white and green parts. Add them to the cream cheese.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice and Seasoning

    Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Bagel Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bagels

    Slice the bagels in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Tomato and Onion

    While the bagels are toasting, wash the tomato and sprouts. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and slice the red onion into thin rings.

  3. 6

    Spread the Schmear

    Once the bagels are toasted, spread a generous amount of the scallion schmear on each half.

  4. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one half of each bagel, layer the smoked salmon, then add the tomato slices, onion rings, and fresh sprouts.

  5. 8

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the bagel to complete the sandwich. Serve with a side of potato chips.
