Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Wash and thinly slice your cucumber. Slice any additional toppings, like tomatoes or radishes, if desired.
- Cut your bagels in half and place them on a cutting board.
- Evenly spread cottage cheese across each half of the bagels.
- Layer cucumber slices over the cottage cheese, arranging them neatly or piling them high.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the cucumbers, then add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Add any optional toppings on top of the cucumbers.
- Assemble the bagel halves together or serve open-faced. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For added flavor, try using flavored cottage cheese, such as herb or garlic. Store leftover ingredients separately to avoid sogginess. Consider switching out the cucumbers for shredded carrots or bell peppers. If using stale bagels, toast them slightly to revive their texture.
