If you have spent a late night at SIU Carbondale, you have probably paid a visit to Winston the Bagel Man. He is a fabulous fellow with a bagel cart who grills up (YES, GRILLS UP) the most wonderful bagel creations you can imagine. This is my humble version of his masterpiece. . .it's not as good as the original but it is a tribute to Winston and my college years joyfully spent. Ingredients:
1 bagel (plain lender's are the best for this) |
1 1/2 teaspoons butter |
1 1/2 ounces cream cheese |
20 raisins |
1 teaspoon sunflower seeds (lovingly referred to as seeds ) |
2 big slice granny smith apples |
4 thin slices cucumbers (may take3 per bagel to cover it completely) |
cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Split your bagel in half and grill (or toast in the toaster if you must) til warm and light brown.
2. Slather each side with a little butter, then cream cheese, then 10 raisins on each bagel, then sunflower seeds. Top cucumber then apple and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
3. As an adult, I now eat my bagel open faced, however the original is served sandwich style.
4. NOTE: In true Winston fashion, I must tell you that he would make your bagel with any combo of ingredients you wished. Sometimes I added bacon bits and sweet onion to my combo above. . .depended on how many drinks I had that night LOL. He also offers garlic powder, but that never fit with my chosen combo.
