Tips, Variations & Storage
Substitutions & Variations:
- For extra protein, top with a poached or soft-boiled egg.
- To make it vegan, skip the egg and add chickpeas or vegan cream cheese.
- Use gluten-free bagels for a gluten-free version.
- For milder flavor, omit chili flakes and use a pinch of smoked paprika instead.
Make-Ahead Tip:
Prepare the avocado mixture up to 2 hours in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap (pressed against the surface) to prevent browning.
Storage:
Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover avocado spread in the fridge for up to 1 day. Keep bagels separately to avoid sogginess.
Serving Ideas:
Pair with fresh orange juice or iced coffee for a balanced breakfast, or serve alongside a salad for a light lunch.
