Start with 1 Onion bagel (about 125 g each).

From bottom to top

  1. BaseOnion — bottom half
  2. 01
    Scallion cream cheese40 g
    • 35 g Plain cream cheese
    • 5 g Scallion, finely sliced
  3. 02
    Cremini mushrooms, sliced100 g raw (about 60 g cooked)
  4. TopOnion — top half

For preparation

  • 5 ml (1 tsp) Olive oil, for the pan

Before you start

  1. Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice 5 mm thick. Split one onion bagel.
  2. Mix the cream cheese and scallion. Keep the spread refrigerated while the mushrooms cook.

Make it

  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and their released moisture has evaporated. Let cool for 2 minutes so they do not melt the spread.
  3. Spread the scallion cream cheese onto the bottom half only. Spoon the mushrooms on top.
  4. Close with the onion-bagel top and serve.
