Looking for inspiration for things to add to my morning bagel :)
Edited to add: thanks for all the replies!!
Cucumber. Cucumber + cream cheese is utterly divine. Best peeled.
My favorite bagel has heirloom tomatoes, fresh dill, capers, salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Just flawless.
- green peppers
- hummus
- watermelon
- tomato + basil
- mint pesto
- tomato + pesto
- tomato + lettuce
- roasted jalapeno (or other peppers) without seeds
- bread and butter pickles (they’re sweet)
- spicy pickles
- mustard seed spread (not that nuclear yellow crap)
- kimchi
- apple slices
- grilled zucchini
- eggplant and marinara
- apple butter
- any jam (Berry jam too)
- hot pepper relish
- hot sauce
- mashed sweet potato
- chopped candied nuts
- green onions and chives
- a dressing of oil, parsley, mint blended until thick
Holy cow I’m so hungry right now for all of this
I like to top cream cheese on bagel with sliced cherry tomatoes or fresh figs if they’re in season. You can also mix some chopped raisins, a bit of honey, and cinnamon into plain cream cheese for an easy, yet yummy spread.
Want to make it extra yummy? Dried tomatoes. One of the white pizze that I prepare often is mascarpone (basically cream cheese), sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms, it’s really easy to adapt this into your bagel.
Radishes have a nice peppery bite to them. Toss some slices on top with a few chili flakes.
