Hello people

I wrote you guys a little poem, I hope u like it! Here goes…

Someone cut the power cable

Seems like Breakfast becomes unavailable

Wait! I have two hands for making food, they are able

I think I have a bagel or 2 on the breakfast table

Idea! Creativeness enable…

For time in the kitchen is colourful & playful

It could not be any easier to assemble

Since, my diet is stable

Add in fruit, cheese honey or maple

For breakfast we enjoyed a fruity bagel

By far this poem is funny & laughable

LOL

I usually love baking my own yeast stuff, but due to a huge social event planned today, I had to make breakfast a quick thing. I went to my nearest Pick ‘n Pay & purchased 2 bagels which was about 3 bucks each. It would have costed me more to actually bake it, considering using the oven for just two bagels.

Fruit Bagels

I made two different 1 was an Avocado with Basil Pesto and the second was Sweet & spicy Mango & red onion

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2 bagels

Handful rocket leaves

Handful coriander leaves finely chopped

3ml paprika

3ml oregano

5ml basil pesto (fresh homemade is the best with garlic & chilli)

Handful eta cheese/parmesan for garnishing

Salt

Pepper

Optional 5ml: honey/sauces/dips/peanut butter

Method for the avocado bagel:

1. Cut open the bagels & toast.
2. Smear the cottage cheese on each side of the bagels (depends on your liking).
3. Add 5 ml basil pesto.
4. Add the 4 half slices of tomatoes on 1 bagel.
5. Add avocado & capsicum cubes on top.
6. Add crumbs of feta cheese/parmesan.
7. Sprinkle oregano & season.

Method for the mango bagel:
