Ingredients
4 wholemeal bagels, sliced in half
80g low-fat soft cheese
40g ready-to-eat dried apricots, chopped
2 bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the grill and lightly toast the cut sides of each bagel.
- In a small bowl, mix low-fat soft cheese with chopped apricots.
- Spread mixture over toasted bagel bases, top with sliced banana, and place bagel tops on.
- Dairy-free option: Skip soft cheese; mash banana onto toasted bagel and sprinkle with apricots.
Notes
- To prevent banana browning, brush slices with lemon juice if prepping ahead.
- Try nut toppings like walnuts, pecans, or almonds for extra crunch.
- Swap apricots with other dried fruits such as raisins, dates, or figs.
- Greek yogurt or ricotta can replace soft cheese for extra creaminess.
