Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the flavorful spread that’s the star of this sandwich. Wash the scallions thoroughly and finely chop the white parts. Their subtle sweetness and aroma will blend beautifully with the cream cheese.
Step 2
Next, prepare the bacon. Cut 5 strips of thick-cut bacon into long, thin strips, about 1cm wide. This will add a delightful chewiness to your sandwich.
Step 3
Place the sliced bacon in a dry, preheated pan over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crispy, allowing the fat to render out naturally.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels to drain off excess grease. This step ensures your sandwich won’t be greasy and will have a cleaner taste.
Step 5
Now, let’s assemble the spread. In a bowl with the softened cream cheese (150g), add the chopped scallions, drained crispy bacon, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Step 6
Using a spatula or fork, mix everything together until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. The scallions and bacon will be perfectly incorporated into the cream cheese, creating a delicious spread.
Step 7
Let’s prepare the bagel. Take two bagels, preferably from frozen, and slice them in half. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Toast them in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and slightly crisp on the outside. (You can also toast them without preheating the oven.)
Step 8
Generously spread the delicious Scallion Bacon Cream Cheese spread you just made onto the toasted bagel halves. The warmth of the bagel will complement the creaminess of the spread.
Step 9
Finally, arrange the fresh smoked salmon slices attractively over the spread. Garnish with a few capers for a pop of color and flavor. Your Scallion Cream Cheese Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich is ready! Enjoy your delicious creation!
