Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 everything bagel
2 ounces chive and onion cream cheese, softened
3 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
2 leaves romaine lettuce
1 slice tomato
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 avocado, diced
Instructions
Toast Bread: Toast the everything bagel until it is golden and crisp, approximately 3 minutes.
Prepare Filling: On a cutting board, spread the softened chive and onion cream cheese over the surface. Layer the cooked bacon, romaine lettuce, and tomato slice on top. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly.
Chop Mixture: Chop the layered ingredients together until they are chunky and well combined for a balanced texture. Add the diced avocado and chop 5 to 7 more times to integrate it gently.
Assemble Sandwich: Gather the chopped mixture and spread it evenly onto the bottom half of the toasted bagel. Place the top half of the bagel over the mixture.
Serve: Serve the assembled California BLT Chopped Bagel immediately for best freshness and taste.
Notes
Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor.
Substitute regular cream cheese if chive and onion cream cheese is unavailable.
Toast the bagel longer if you prefer a crispier texture.
Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado to prevent browning.
This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and does not store well once assembled.
