Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Bagel Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 4 bagels, sliced in half
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4-6 capers
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Begin by toasting the bagels to your desired level of crispiness.
-
While the bagels are toasting, mix together the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This will create a tangy and creamy spread for the bagel sandwich.
-
Once the bagels are toasted, spread the cream cheese mixture on each half.
-
Top each bagel half with a slice of smoked salmon, a few slices of red onion, and a few capers.
-
Serve the bagel sandwiches immediately, while the bagels are still warm and the cream cheese is melted and spreadable.
