Ingredients
- 2 fresh bagels
- 5 tablespoons apple jam (homemade jam adds an extra special touch!)
- 4 ripe strawberries
- 1 orange
- A small amount of butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your bagels. Slice each bagel in half and place them in a toaster. Toast until the cut sides are lightly golden and slightly crisp. Toasting enhances their texture and flavor.
Step 2
Gently wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Finely chop them into bite-sized pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Their sweet and slightly tart flavor will complement the bagel beautifully.
Step 3
Peel the orange and separate the segments. Finely chop the orange flesh into pieces similar in size to the strawberries. The orange will add a refreshing citrus note.
Step 4
Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the toaster and let them cool slightly. Spread a thin layer of butter evenly over the cut surfaces. The butter will add a subtle richness; avoid using too much to maintain a balanced flavor.
Step 5
Next, generously spread the apple jam over the buttered bagel halves. If you’ve made your own apple jam, this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase its homemade goodness. A smooth, even layer of jam is perfect.
Step 6
Artfully arrange the chopped strawberries on top of the apple jam layer. Their vibrant red color will make your bagel visually appealing and delicious.
Step 7
Finally, place the chopped orange pieces over the strawberries, creating a colorful fruit topping. Your Apple Jam Strawberry Bagel is now complete and ready to be enjoyed! Bon appétit.
