Salmon, Avocado and Herb Goat Cheese Bagels

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Homemade or store‑bought bagels (Slice each bagel in half horizontally)
• 100 g Fresh goat cheese (At room temperature to ease mixing)
• ½ tsp Fine herb salt
• ¼ tsp Timut pepper (or black pepper) (Light citrus notes)
• 1 tsp Fresh chopped dill
• ½ tsp Herbes de Provence
• 1 tsp Extra‑virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Liquid cream (optional) (For a creamier texture)
• ½ small Cucumber (Thinly sliced)
• ¼ small Red onion (Thinly sliced into ribbons)
• 4 leaves Iceberg lettuce (Crisp)
• 100 g Smoked salmon (or smoked trout) (Thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Sun‑dried tomatoes in olive oil (Coarsely chopped)
• 1 small Avocado (Thinly sliced, drizzled with lemon juice)
• 1 tsp Lemon juice (To prevent avocado oxidation)
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional)
• A handful Arugula
• A handful Mâche

Instructions

1. Prepare the herb cheese

   In a mixing bowl, crumble the fresh goat cheese. Add the herb salt, Timut pepper, dill, Herbes de Provence and olive oil. Stir with a fork until you get a smooth paste. If the texture is too firm, fold in the 2 tbsp of liquid cream.

   Time: PT5M

2. Slice the vegetables

   On a cutting board, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, the red onion into very thin ribbons, and the avocado into slices. Drizzle the avocado slices with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

   Time: PT10M

3. Toast the bagels (optional)

   Cut each bagel in half and place them in a toaster or under the oven grill for 2‑3 minutes until lightly golden.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 180°C

4. Assemble the bagel

   On the bottom half of each bagel, spread the herb cheese generously. Layer cucumber rounds, then red onion ribbons, iceberg lettuce leaves, smoked salmon, sun‑dried tomatoes, avocado slices, a drizzle of mayonnaise (if desired) and finally arugula and mâche leaves. Top with the bagel’s upper half.

   Time: PT7M

5. Serve

   Place the bagels on a plate, cut in half if desired and enjoy immediately.
