Not exactly cream cheese combo, but my usual breakfast is an onion or plain bagel with an egg and a slice of jarlsberg cheese, wrapped in tinfoil and heated in the oven. It cooks while I have my shower.
Onion bagel with garden vegetable cream cheese. And sometimes (once in a blue moon since I know it''s not good for you) crushed sour cream and onion chips on top.
I am Jewish and DF isn''t. I am ok about most things he eats, but I will not allow him to eat bacon/ ham etc on a bagel. Its just not right!
If it is a New York style bagel, then toasted with full fat scallion cream cheese. If its one of the softer, chewier Jewish bagels that you get in England, then untoasted with yummy salted butter. I also like chopped liver and egg and onion (yes, at the same time)
I have two favorites:
1) Toasted plain bagel with plain cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
2) Toasted everything bagel with plain cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
I guess you could say I''m an all or nothing girl.
Since I am a Weight Watcher I do the Alternative Western Bagel in Everything (onion and poppy seeds) and the Weight Watchers whipped cream cheese for 2 points.
Mine: bagel, cream cheese, turkey, and cranberry sauce. I can''t eat very much dairy, so I have to spread a thin layer and add more of the other goodies.
sweet mood: Toasted plain/blueberry bagle with cream cheese and jam.
savory mood: Toasted plain/onion/everything bagle with smoked salmon cream cheese (or onion and chive or garlic and herb).
BF likes a toasted whole wheat and honey with garden vegetable cream cheese and cucmber slices on top - also very good!
Alternative bagle toasting styles?
In my family my mom always put cream cheese on the bagle first and then toasted it in the toaster oven until it browned a little,
(both cream cheese and bagle)
but BF toasts the bagle in the toaster, and then spreads on the untoasted cream cheese.
Both ways are good , but I like the broiled cream cheese the best.
