Toasted bagel with cream cheese

Ingredients

• 2 plain bagels
• 100 g plain cream cheese
• 1 tsp water, only if reheating a stale bagel

Let’s make it

1. Split bagels evenly through the center.
2. Toast cut-side up until warm and lightly crisp, about 3–5 minutes. If using a slightly stale bagel, lightly moisten the outside with the teaspoon of water before warming in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.
3. Let stand for 1 minute so the cream cheese does not melt immediately.
4. Spread each bagel with half the cream cheese and serve.
