Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Base

  • 1/2 everything bagel, or bagel of choice

Avocado Spread

  • 1/2 small avocado (about 1–1/2 ounces)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables and Greens

  • 1/2 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 radish, thinly sliced
  • Baby arugula, a handful

Protein and Toppings

  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, hot or cold smoked, skin removed
  • 1 egg, poached or fried
  • 1 drizzle hot honey
  • Fresh dill, chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bagel: Begin by toasting your preferred half of an everything bagel until it turns golden and crisp, providing a sturdy base with a delightful crunch.
  2. Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bagel is toasting, scoop out about 1-1/2 ounces of avocado into a small bowl. Mash it thoroughly with a fork and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste to enhance its creamy flavor.
  3. Assemble the Base Layers: Spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bagel half. Then add a handful of fresh baby arugula, followed by thinly sliced Persian cucumber and radish slices to introduce crisp, fresh textures.
  4. Add the Smoked Salmon: Place 4 ounces of smoked salmon, with skin removed, across the vegetable layer. Distribute it evenly to cover the entire bagel surface.
  5. Cook and Place the Egg: Quickly poach or fry an egg according to your preference, aiming for set whites and a runny yolk for richness. Place the cooked egg on top of the smoked salmon and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Finish with Honey and Dill: Drizzle hot honey over the assembled bagel to add a sweet-spicy note. Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped dill on top to elevate flavor and presentation. The bagel is now ready to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use any bagel variety, but an everything bagel adds extra flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred spice level.
  • Remove skin from smoked salmon before assembling for easier eating.
  • Substitute the poached egg with a scrambled or soft-boiled egg if preferred.
  • Fresh dill is optional but adds a lovely herbal aroma and an attractive garnish.
