Ingredients

  1. 2 bagels, halved
  2. 1 ripe nectarine, sliced
  3. 4 ounces cream cheese
  4. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  5. Honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 halved bagels, 1 ripe nectarine sliced into thin wedges, 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, and honey for drizzling.
  2. Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. While the bagels are toasting, wash the fresh basil leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  4. Once the bagels are toasted, spread an even layer of cream cheese on the cut side of each bagel half, using a butter knife or a spatula for smooth application.
  5. Arrange the sliced nectarine on top of the cream cheese, ensuring each bagel half gets a generous amount of fruit for a balanced flavor.
  6. Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the nectarines, distributing them evenly to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
  7. Drizzle honey lightly over the assembled bagels, adding a touch of sweetness that complements the cream cheese and nectarines.
  8. Serve immediately while the bagels are warm, and enjoy your delicious Basil and Nectarine Bagel as a fusion breakfast or snack!

Tips

  1. Choose a ripe, fragrant nectarine for maximum flavor—look for fruits that give slightly when gently pressed.
  2. Use fresh, high-quality basil leaves for the most vibrant taste. If possible, pick them just before preparing the dish.
  3. Toast your bagels until they're golden brown with crispy edges to provide the perfect textural contrast.
  4. Spread the cream cheese evenly and generously for a luxurious base.
  5. Drizzle honey sparingly—a little goes a long way in adding a delicate sweetness.
  6. For an extra gourmet touch, try using flavored cream cheese like herb or honey-infused varieties.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect temperature and texture of your bagels.
