Begin by toasting the bagels to your desired level of crispiness using a toaster or oven.
While the bagels are toasting, use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Slice the cucumber into thin circles. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds as well.
Once the bagels are ready, spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on the cut side of each bagel half.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the cream cheese layer on all four bagel halves.
On two of the bagel halves, arrange a layer of spinach leaves followed by slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Sprinkle the alfalfa sprouts evenly on top.
Place the other half of the bagels on top to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Classic Bagel Sandwich.
