Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the low-fat bagel in half horizontally and lightly toast until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with salt, black pepper, and the optional chives for additional flavor.
Spread the seasoned cream cheese evenly onto each half of the toasted bagel.
Once the turkey bacon is cooked, place one slice on each bagel half.
Assemble the bagel halves together, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
