Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain bagel
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil)
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 handful Baby spinach
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole grain bagel in half horizontally with a serrated knife.
Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, if your sun-dried tomatoes are whole, chop them into small, manageable pieces.
Finely slice the 1/4 red onion into thin rings.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese evenly across each half of the toasted bagel.
Evenly distribute the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the cream cheese on each half.
Place the fresh basil leaves on top of the sun-dried tomatoes.
Add a layer of baby spinach, using enough to cover the tomato layer but not excessively piling it.
Top with a few rings of sliced red onion.
Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and a small pinch of black pepper over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy bagel.
