Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 bagels, cut in half (your favorite; I like one with everything on it)
  • 4 red onion slices, thin sliced and cut in half (see note)
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese (onion chive cream cheese, softened)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained and rough chopped
  • 16 olives, chopped (I use a mix of green stuffed with pimento, and black)
  • 4 eggs (hard large boiled eggs, sliced)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Note: The cream cheese spread, onions, and eggs can all be made ahead; so, take advantage of that convenience.

  • Step 2: Cream Cheese ... Mix the cream cheese with the capers and olives. I like to use a mix of black and green; but, you could use one or the other. Note: If you can get the whipped cream cheese with onions and chives, it doesn't need to soften. But, I have found it isn't always available. Also, there are other brands other than Philadelphia; so, each brand is a bit different.

  • Step 3: Note - Red Onions: Some people don't like the strong flavor of onions. You can soak the red onions for 5-10 minutes in cold water, and it will take away some of the strong flavor. Then, just dry off; and, they can be store until ready to use.

  • Step 4: Bagels ... Use your favorite; I happen to love the "everything" bagel. The one that has all the toppings (sesame, poppyseed, garlic, onions, etc); but, use your favorite. I lightly toast mine.

  • Step 5: Finish ... Top your warm toasted bagel with the cream cheese spread, then a few red onion slices; and, finish with 1 sliced egg. Make sure to season with salt and pepper. It's easy, delicious, and a nice change from your classic bagel w/cream cheese - without much work. ENJOY!
