Clam Chowder Cheese Bagel: A Taste of San Francisco at Home!
Clam Chowder Cheese Bagel Recipe
I can’t forget the unforgettable taste of clam chowder I encountered on a trip to San Francisco. I’ve often made it my own way at home, and started pairing it with bagels, which I’ve found so satisfying that I make it frequently! ^^
Main Ingredients- 1 piece of butter (for pan greasing)
- 1 bagel (choose your favorite type)
- 1 piece of fresh mozzarella cheese (adjust size as needed)
- 1 can of store-bought clam chowder soup (available at Costco, online, etc.)
- A pinch of shredded cheddar cheese (for added flavor)
- A pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish and aroma)
Seasoning- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat a pan over medium-low heat and add 1 piece of butter to melt it. Be careful not to burn the butter, and coat the entire pan.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, place the bagel in the pan and toast it on both sides until golden brown. It’s best to achieve a slightly crispy exterior and a soft interior. (You can also substitute with bread bowls or baguettes for a delicious alternative!)
Step 3
Prepare the main ingredient: 1 can of clam chowder soup. You can easily find this at places like Costco or online retailers. Sometimes, you might even spot it at specialty snack stores. (It’s usually around 3,000 KRW per can, making it an affordable treat.)
Step 4
Pour the prepared clam chowder soup into a pot and gently heat it over low heat. Avoid boiling it; warming it through is key to preserving the soup’s delicate flavor.
Step 5
Once the soup is warm, season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to your taste, stirring gently. It’s important to adjust the seasoning carefully so as not to overpower the original clam chowder flavor.
Step 6
Place the nicely toasted bagel on a plate. Gently press down the center of the bagel to create a slight indentation, which will help hold the soup.
Step 7
Place a piece of fresh mozzarella cheese into the indentation you made in the center of the bagel. Just press it down lightly, considering how it will melt into the warm soup.
Step 8
Carefully pour the warm clam chowder soup over the mozzarella cheese in the center of the bagel. The combination of cheese and soup creates a mouth-watering visual.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and parsley flakes to complete your Clam Chowder Cheese Bagel! The generous chunks of clam and potato in the savory cream soup, along with the stretchy cheese, create a flavor combination that anyone who loves cheese will adore. It’s so simple that you can whip up this fantastic brunch in about 3 minutes. Enjoy! 😋
