Herby Cream Cheese
- 150 grams spreadable cream cheese (softened, dairy-free or regular)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
- 2 sesame seed or plain bagels
- 2 eggs
- 1 small avocado (sliced)
- 100 grams smoked salmon
Instructions
- Prepare the Herby Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with chopped parsley, chives, and dill. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a small frying pan over medium heat with a light spray of cooking oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. To ensure even cooking without browning the bottoms too quickly, cover the pan with a lid if necessary.
- Toast the Bagels: Slice the bagels in half. Toast them in a toaster or under a hot grill until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the Bagels: Spread a generous layer of the herby cream cheese onto the bottom halves of the toasted bagels. Layer sliced avocado on top of the cream cheese, followed by the smoked salmon.
- Add the Fried Egg: Place a fried egg on each assembled bagel half. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and optionally garnish with fresh dill.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top halves of the bagels over the eggs, gently press down to break the yolks, and serve immediately for a creamy, flavorful bite.
