Loaded Avocado Bagel
If you love avocado toast. then you are going to fall head over heels for this incredible avocado bagel. A crisp and chewy bagel, with smooth, creamy avocado, fresh, delicate spinach, fiery, roasted serrano chillies and smoky, pickled chargrilled peppers.
This is so simple and easy, I love serving these for breakfast and brunch or even a quick lunch with a lovely cup of coffee. I use jarred chargrilled peppers and roasted serrano chillies because I love the smoky slightly pickled flavour, but you could you jalapenos if you prefer. Fresh tomatoes and red onions also work wonderfully and add a nice crisp freshness.
Thin bagels work the best for this recipe, my favourite brand is Warburtons as they are very crisp and light. I always add hot sauce to my avocados to give it some extra flavour and spice, I’ve tried many on the market but I have to say Nandos peri-peri sauce in hot is the absolute best for avocados as it has a well-rounded flavour and a zing of lemon that perfectly complements the creamy avocado.
