Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces bagels of your choice Whole grain recommended for a wholesome touch.
  • 4 strips crispy bacon Can substitute with turkey bacon or veggie alternatives.
  • 1 large ripe tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 piece avocado, diced For a creamy texture.
  • 4 tablespoons mayo Can substitute with a preferred alternative.
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning.
  • to taste Fresh chives, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until golden and crispy, or bake it in the oven to avoid splatters.
  2. Slice the bagels in half and toast them to your preferred level of crispiness.
  3. Spread a generous layer of mayo on each toasted half of the bagel.
  4. Layer the shredded Romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, and crispy bacon on the bagels.
  5. Sprinkle fresh chives on top for added flavor and presentation.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cap the bagels with the other half and serve immediately.

Notes

Consider swapping out bacon for smoky tempeh or crispy chickpeas for a meat-free option. For extra flavor, add lemon juice or garlic powder to the mayo. Store leftovers separately in the fridge for up to one day.
