California BLT Chopped Bagel Sandwich - Easy Lunch Idea
- Slice the everything bagel in half and toast it until golden brown: about 3 minutes.
- On a clean cutting board: spread the softened cream cheese thinly. Lay the crispy bacon, romaine leaves, and tomato slice on top. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a sharp knife or a mezzaluna: chop the ingredients together until they are chunky and well combined. Add the diced avocado and chop 5 to 7 more times to incorporate.
- Gather the chopped mixture: pile it onto the bottom half of the toasted bagel. Top with the other half and serve immediately.
