Ingredients
2bagels
4Tbscream cheese or hummus
1large carrot
¼cucumber
Instructions
First split each of the bagels in half. Pop the bagel halves into the toaster and toast until golden brown.
Spread your choice of hummus or cream cheese over the cut side of each bagel half.
Using a julienne peeler, cut the carrot into thin straw-like strips. If you don’t have a julienne peeler, you can also use a sharp knife to cut the carrot into really thin strips or you could even grate the carrot instead.
Arrange the carrot strips on top of each bagel half to form nest shapes. Depending on the size of your carrot, you may need to cut some of the strips in half to make this easier.
Cut egg shapes from the cucumber slices using a round or oval shaped mini bento cutter.
Place three of the cucumber eggs into the centre of each bagel nest.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: If making for an Easter gathering, get ahead by cutting the carrot strips and cucumber eggs, storing them in the fridge in a plastic bag or air-tight box up to a day in advance.
