This breakfast concoction is inspired by something I tried recently at a nearby coffee shop. They had this interesting bagel covered with an avocado, cream cheese, and lemon pepper spread. It turned out to be a killer combination! Tangy and creamy, with a kick of spice from the pepper – At home, we prepare this with the ingredients separated, which makes the flavors really pop, as well as some fresh herbs on top. If you’re an avocado lover like us, we highly recommend trying this.
Ingredients
1 everything bagel
1 avocado
cream cheese to taste
zest and juice from 1 lemon
ground pepper to taste
sea salt to taste
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro (or parsley)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix lemon zest, ground pepper, and sea salt. Slice avocado and drizzle slices with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. Toast bagel and spread cream cheese on top. Place the avocado slices on the cream cheese. Sprinkle with lemon zest mixture and herbs.
When picking out an avocado: If you are making this within a day or two, make sure it is slightly soft and uniform. Too mushy, and it is probably bruised or going bad. Too hard, and it is unripe and will take around a week to soften up.
