The bagel is a real institution in New York, especially the pastrami bagel, which is one of the most famous recipes. To prepare them, cut the bagels in half lengthwise. Toast them quickly in the oven or toaster. Spread the two parts with cream cheese, place a few slices of pastrami (beef marinated in spices then dried), a lettuce leaf and a few slices of tomato. Serve immediately.
The bagel is also delicious with smoked salmon and dill, two typical Scandinavian ingredients. To prepare it, cut your bagels in half then lightly toast them in the toaster or in the oven. Spread them with a little cottage cheese and fresh chopped dill. Place on top a few strips of smoked salmon, a few strips of red onion, slices of cucumber for the crunch and a few slices of sweet pickle if you like that. Enjoy immediately, possibly accompanied by a white cabbage salad. An ideal recipe for a convivial meal with friends.
Fancy a vegetarian bagel? Try this delicious recipe! Cut the bagels in half, spread them with the flesh of an avocado and season with a pinch of chilli and a little lemon juice. Cut 100g of smoked tofu into thin slices and arrange them on the bagels. Add a few slices of tomato and a lettuce leaf. Close the bagels and enjoy. You can also prepare your vegetarian bagel with grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant…) and fresh goat cheese.
