Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Bagels

Begin by toasting the bagels until they're golden brown and crispy. This enhances their flavor and gives the perfect base for your toppings.

Once toasted, spread a generous layer of *cream cheese* on each half, followed by a dab of *tomato pesto* for added flavor.

Step 2

Add Toppings

Next, take your *mashed avocado* or guacamole and spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer. This adds a creamy texture and rich taste that pairs well with the bagel.

Now, place a slice of *prosciutto* on top, followed by a few *halved cherry tomatoes* to add a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 3

Finish with Cheese and Egg

Top each bagel with slices of *brie cheese*, and sprinkle fresh *basil leaves* over everything for an aromatic touch.

Finally, carefully place a *poached egg* on each bagel to complete your dish. The runny yolk will create a delightful sauce that enhances every bite!

Servings

Imagine this: You wake up and smell the freshly toasted bagels wafting through your kitchen. 🏡✨ Why settle for plain when you can create a breakfast masterpiece? Try pairing your bagels with **creamy cheese** and a dollop of **zesty guacamole** for that perfect balance of flavors. Or savor the salty goodness of **prosciutto** paired with **sweet cherry tomatoes** for a fantastic flavor duo. Don't forget to garnish with a sprinkle of **fresh basil** and finish it off with an **egg poached to perfection**! 🥚 These bagels are not just for breakfast; they can be a fabulous snack or even a light lunch. Serve them at your next brunch get-together and watch how they disappear in no time! Each bite is a delight, leaving a smile on everyone’s face. 😋

Variations

Gluten-Free Bagel Option: If you’re looking for a gluten-free alternative, consider using gluten-free bagels, which are becoming increasingly popular and can be found in many grocery stores. These bagels can have the same delicious topping combos just without the gluten! 🥳 Vegan Twist: To make a vegan version, opt for **plant-based cream cheese** or hummus instead of regular cream cheese. You can also swap out the prosciutto for slices of **avocado** or **smoked tofu**. Dress it all up with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a spicy kick! Both variations still let you enjoy that delicious breakfast bagel vibe while accommodating different dietary preferences. 🌱🥑
