🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, take your bagel and carefully slice it in half using a sharp bagel knife. This ensures a clean cut and prevents squishing.
  2. Next, grab your small bowl and place your cream cheese inside. If it's straight from the fridge, give it a few minutes to soften slightly at room temperature. This makes it much easier to spread!
  3. Now, add a generous spoonful of fresh dill to your cream cheese. This is where your personal preference comes in. Like it dill-icious? Add more! Less into the dill? Add less. It's all about finding your perfect balance!
  4. Stir the cream cheese and dill together until they are well combined. You want a nice, even distribution of that herby goodness.
  5. Now, the moment of truth: Take one half of your bagel and spread a layer of the dill cream cheese evenly over the surface. Don't be stingy; you want good coverage!
  6. Carefully arrange slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese. I usually like to slightly overlap the slices for maximum fishy deliciousness.
  7. Gently place the other half of the bagel on top of the smoked salmon, creating your magnificent Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese Bagel masterpiece.
  8. If you like, you can gently press down to secure the layers—but be careful not to squish the bagel too much, unless you’re into that kind of thing.
  9. And there you have it! Your Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese Bagel is ready to be devoured. Take your time, savor each bite, and enjoy the symphony of flavors in every mouthful.

📝 Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a higher-quality cream cheese.
  • If fresh dill is unavailable, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill.
  • You can add a sprinkle of black pepper or lemon zest for extra flavor. A touch of capers is also a nice addition if you're feeling adventurous!
