Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bagels preferably whole grain or your favorite type
  • 4 oz smoked salmon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional capers for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small pot
  • Slotted spoon
  • Ice bath

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the bagels in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. While the bagels are toasting, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  3. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the toasted bagel halves. Layer the smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
  4. Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half. Place the egg halves on top of the salmon.
  5. Sprinkle the bagels with fresh dill, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add capers if using.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Salmon Bagel with Egg.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier texture, mix the cream cheese with a bit of lemon juice before spreading.
• Avoid overcooking the eggs to maintain a soft, runny yolk for the best flavor and texture.
• Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a green salad for a complete meal.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fully cooked to avoid foodborne illness.
• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
