What's Great About It:
The bagel was brought to North America by Jewish immigrants from Poland and other Eastern European countries. This easy, three ingredient bagel recipe is a healthy and versatile option for a homemade meal, providing a serve of veg per portion when paired with fresh toppings like avocado, tomato, and lettuce. The use of Greek yoghurt adds protein and balances the flavour of the bagel. For extra crunch, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top before baking, or, after cooking, spread pesto or hummus onto the bagel before adding the salad ingredients.
