Notes

To perfect this recipe, you can experiment with different types of bagels such as everything bagels or sesame bagels to add extra texture and flavor. You can also toast your bagel before assembling if desired. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can mix some chopped dill into the cream cheese before spreading it on the bagel. This sandwich pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh mixed greens or a cup of warm soup. Enjoy!
