Ingredients
- 1 piece Bagel
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the bagel in half horizontally.
Step 2
Lightly toast the bagel halves in a toaster or under a broiler for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Optionally, if you like extra flavor, you can spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides before toasting.
Step 3
While the bagel is toasting, prepare the chives by washing them thoroughly under cold water. Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, finely chop the chives and set aside.
Step 4
Once the bagel is toasted, remove it from the toaster and let it cool for about a minute to prevent the cream cheese from melting.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese evenly over each half of the toasted bagel.
Step 6
Sprinkle the freshly chopped chives evenly over the cream cheese-covered bagel halves.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious bagel with cream cheese and chives.
