Ingredients for Bacon Cream Cheese Bagel Sandwich
- 1 bagel
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- Blueberry Preserves
- 2-3 slices bacon
How to Make Bacon Cream Cheese Bagel Sandwich
- Preheat your toaster to a medium setting.
- If your bagel isn't pre-sliced, carefully cut it in half.
- While the bagel toasts, cook 2-3 slices of bacon until crispy. (Microwave: Cook on high for 45-60 seconds, checking frequently to avoid burning; Stovetop: Cook in a pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through).
- Once the bagel is toasted, spread approximately 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on one half of the bagel and 1 tablespoon of your favorite preserves (e.g., strawberry, fig, or apricot jam) on the other half.
- Cut the cooked bacon slices in half and layer them onto the cream cheese side of the bagel.
- Top with the other half of the bagel and gently press down. Enjoy immediately!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
