Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 bagel thins
- 1 tablespoon low-fat cream cheese
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- Tomato slices
- Fresh spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: bagel thins, low-fat cream cheese, avocado, tomato, spinach, salt, and pepper.
- If the bagel thins are not pre-toasted, lightly toast them in a toaster until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Using a butter knife or spreader, evenly distribute the low-fat cream cheese across both halves of the bagel thins, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully slice the avocado and arrange the thin slices evenly across the cream cheese-covered bagel thins.
- Layer fresh spinach leaves on top of the avocado slices, creating a vibrant green base.
- Add tomato slices on top of the spinach, covering the surface of the bagel thins.
- Lightly sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance the flavor.
- Gently press the two halves together to create a sandwich, or serve open-faced for a lighter presentation.
- Slice diagonally if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy maximum freshness and texture.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bagel Thins: Opt for whole grain bagel thins for added fiber and nutrients. They not only taste great but also keep you fuller for longer.
- Perfectly Toasted: If you prefer a bit of crunch, toast the bagel thins just until golden brown. This adds a delightful texture that complements the creamy toppings.
- Experiment with Spreads: While low-fat cream cheese is delicious, feel free to try other spreads like hummus or Greek yogurt for a different flavor profile.
- Add More Veggies: Don’t hesitate to pile on extra veggies! Cucumbers, bell peppers, or even sliced radishes can add a refreshing crunch and extra nutrients.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can also add a nice kick if you enjoy a bit of heat.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste and texture, serve your bagel thins immediately after assembling. This ensures that the ingredients remain fresh and vibrant.
- Make it a Meal: If you're looking to turn this snack into a meal, pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced dining experience.
