A delightful twist on a classic bagel sandwich, featuring tender roast beef, creamy cheese spread, and sweet caramelized onions.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking before adding the onions.
Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan and cook until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, salt, and pepper over the onions and stir until caramelized.
Cook until the onions are golden brown and sweet.
Blend the cream cheese, salt, pepper, and chives until smooth.
Use a food processor if you don't have a blender.
Slice the bagels in half and toast them under a grill until golden.
Watch closely to prevent burning.
Spread the cheese mixture on the bottom halves of the bagels.
Apply generously for a creamy texture.
Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, roast beef, and caramelized onions on the bagels.
Arrange neatly for an appealing presentation.
Top with the other half of the bagel and serve immediately.
Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
