Do you love a bagel with lox? Do you love avocado? Well, then we have a lot in common! I crave salty foods like lox and I absolutely love capers and red onion. I would probably rank bagel & lox in my top 10 favorite breakfast ever! I discovered an ingredient that makes these taste even better than what I can find in a restaurant. I like to drizzle extra virgin olive oil all over the top of the bagels & lox right before serving. I don’t know why but it just makes it taste heavenly when it’s got EVOO all over it! I noticed that I often serve this dish with avocado on the side & today I tried putting the avocado on top of the bagel and lox and whoah! Unbelievable flavor! So delicious!
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 bagels
8 tbsp cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese
3 oz salmon lox
10-12 slivers of red onion
10-12 capers
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil to drizzle on top
1 avocado
Instructions
- Cut the bagels in half and toast them, set them on their plates with the cut side up
- Spread the cream cheese onto the bagel halves and add extra if you like alot
- Divide the salmon lox evenly and place on top of the cream cheese layer of each bagel half
- Divide top with red onion & capers (put equal amounts on each bagel half)
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top of each bagel half
- Slice avocado and serve on the side (or put right on top of your bagel halves! It’s delicious!
Tips: You can serve these bagels with lox & avocado with a slice of fresh lemon if you have it, tastes delicious squeezed on top! You can get creative with this and throw on a little fresh dill or fresh basil. Sometimes I like to add fresh tomato slices, tastes quite amazing! You can put a fried egg on top to make this a heartier meal or a sandwich! Enjoy!
