Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bagel

It’s all about balance, right? While we wouldn’t encourage bagels-for-breakfast on a regular basis, there is no reason why you can’t compromise and share one bagel between two people post-workout. Ensuring its topped with healthy toppings, this is sure to be a weekend treat for you and your loved one. Do not be intimidated by the fancy end-result – barely any work goes into the assembly and it can be done in less time it takes to boil an egg!

Ingredients

• 1 white bagel (average-size)
• 2 TB reduced-fat cream cheese
• 1 tsp dill, finely chopped, plus additional fronds to garnish
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• ½ avocado, sliced
• 100g smoked salmon
• 10g red onion, finely sliced
• 1 tsp capers
• sea salt flakes
• freshly cracked black pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to maximum grill. Halve the bagel and place under the grill to toast. Remove and set aside.
2. In the meantime, combine the reduced fat cream cheese with the finely chopped dill. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge, season and mix well to combine.
3. Spread the dill cream cheese onto each bagel half and arrange the slices of avocado on top. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Divide the pieces of smoked salmon onto each avocado-topped bagel and scatter over the red onion and capers.
5. Finish with additional fronds of dill to garnish and another generous crack of black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.
