Ingredients
4 whole Plain or whole-grain bagels
200 g Cream cheese, softened
150 g Fresh strawberries, diced
2 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 pinch Cinnamon
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the strawberries, dice them, and toss with honey or maple syrup in a bowl for 5 to 10 minutes.
Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and whip until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Whisk in the lemon zest and cinnamon into the whipped cream cheese.
Drain any excess liquid from the macerated strawberries.
Gently fold the drained strawberries into the whipped cream cheese until well combined.
Slice and toast the bagels until golden brown.
Spread the prepared strawberry cream cheese generously over the toasted bagels.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest texture. You can customize this by using other fresh fruits like raspberries or blueberries. Store any leftover spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
