Ingredients for Delicious Bagel Sandwich- 1 Plain Bagel
- 1 Fresh Egg
- 2-3 Leaves of Crisp Lettuce
- 1/2 Ripe Avocado
- 1/2 Sweet and Tangy Tomato
- 2 Strips of Crispy Bacon
- 60g Cream Cheese
- 6g Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Scallions
- A little Cooking Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully slice the plain bagel in half horizontally using a knife, preparing it for your sandwich. Be gentle to avoid crumbling the bread and aim for an even cut.
Step 2
Place the cut bagel halves, cut-side up, onto a dry, non-stick skillet. Toast over medium-low heat until the cut surfaces are lightly golden and slightly crisp, enhancing the sandwich’s texture and flavor.
Step 3
Wash the fresh lettuce leaves thoroughly under cool running water. Gently shake off excess water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring the lettuce is crisp is key for a refreshing bite.
Step 4
Slice the tomato into approximately 0.5 cm thick rounds, suitable for a sandwich. Removing some excess moisture can help prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Step 5
Peel and pit the ripe avocado, then slice it thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. You can also mash it, but slicing it adds a pleasing texture to the sandwich.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the 60g of cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of finely chopped scallions and 6g of sugar. Mix gently with a fork or spatula until well combined. The fragrant scallions will add a unique twist to the cream cheese.
Step 7
In a separate pan, fry the egg to your preference (sunny-side up or over easy). Cook the bacon strips in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. You can dab off any excess bacon grease with a paper towel for a cleaner taste.
Step 8
Generously spread the prepared scallion cream cheese mixture onto one of the toasted bagel halves. Ensure an even layer across the surface for a balanced flavor in every bite.
Step 9
Now, layer your sandwich ingredients onto the cream cheese-spread bagel half. Start with the crisp lettuce, followed by the tomato slices, creamy avocado, crispy bacon, and finally the fried egg. Stack them neatly for a visually appealing and delicious sandwich.
Step 10
Finally, wrap the assembled sandwich snugly in parchment paper or plastic wrap to hold everything together. Place it into a lunchbox, and your delightful Scallion Cream Cheese Bagel Sandwich is ready to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime!
