Palm Springs Bagel

Submitted by summerbreeze

"So my sister was raving about this "amazing" open faced bagel sandwich she had the other day at this cafe. I'm not the biggest avocado fan so I was a little skeptical when she started making one for me. I must say I gladly ate my words after one bite because this is SO DELICIOUS!!! It is seriously the perfect combination so please try it!"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 2 open faced sanwiches
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 bagels
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tomatoes, sliced thickly
• 1 small avocado, sliced
• lemon pepper seasoning

directions

1. Slice bagel in half and toast it, meanwhile you can slice up your tomato and avocado.
2. Spread each side of bagel with 1 Tbsp of cream cheese (or more if you like).
3. Top cream cheese with 1-2 tomato slices, then cover with avocado slices.
4. Finally sprinkle with with lemon pepper to your taste. I would estimate about 1/4 tsp per bagel--but I like a lot! Enjoy!
5. **Side note: you can use lime pepper seasoning instead of lemon, and you can get creative with your bagel flavors.

Delicious combination! I also added some cucumber for a little crunch. Everything went very well together.

Yum! This made a nice, easy lunch with things I usually have around the house. This is a new favorite for me!

What a simple and awesome tasty bagel-wich. I didn't toast mine (had to cart it to school) but I used a poppy seed bagel, spread some creamcheese with the lemon pepper on, then the tomato, then a tad more cream cheese and lemon pepper, then the avocado-- that'll prevent it from slipping off as the last reviewer mentioned. I didn't think the flavor combo would work but it came out marvellously-- I never thought to put spices on my bagel!

Absolutely yummy!!! I followed the recipe exactly and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The only problem I had was keeping the avocado on the tomato on the bagel, but it was worth the "mess". Thanks for posting! Made for I Recommend Tag Game.

This is really good!! I used an onion bagel and whipped cream cheese (my favorites) and it was excellent!! Will make again!! Made for New Kids on the Block Tag February 2010.
