Ingredients for 1 bagel:

  • 1 bagel
  • 2 slices of smoked salmon
  • Fromage Frais
  • PDO huile d’olive d’Aix-en-Provence
  • Salt & pepper
  • Chives
  • 2 small courgettes
  • ½ avocado
  • Salt & pepper

Marinade:

  • 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp. PDO huile d’olive d’Aix-en-Provence
  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Herbes de Provence

Preparation:

Wash the courgettes, cut them into fine slices (or strips), and put them into a bowl.

Remove the zest from the lemon and set it aside. Squeeze the juice from the lemon. Mix it with the other marinade ingredients and pour this over the sliced courgettes. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hr.

Stir 1 tbsp. olive oil into the Fromage Frais to soften it. Add part of the finely chopped chives, pepper and a little lemon zest.

Cut the bagel in half horizontally and toast it under the oven grill for 5 minutes.

Generously spread the Fromage Frais onto the two bagel halves.

Cut the half-avocado into slices and lay them on the first bagel half in a circular fashion. Cover with a first slice of smoked salmon.

Place the marinated courgettes on top. Add the other slice of salmon. Sprinkle with chopped chives. Cover with the top bagel half.

We advise you to use an intense-tasting PDO olive oil from Aix-en-Provence for its aromas of fresh-cut grass and/or raw artichoke, sometimes rounded off with notes of walnut, fresh hazelnut and red berries.

You can also use one of these PDO olive oils: Aix-en-Provence, Provence, Nîmes, Haute-Provence, Corse – Oliu di Corsica.
