This green bagel is a rollercoaster of spring tastes.
I was so surprised when first testing the recipe. I am really trying to respect the seasons on the blog. But sometimes you just can’t handle your appetite for certain ingredients and then I am also making exceptions. Though spring is just around the corner and I was looking to develop a seasonal hit. The recipe includes asparagus and green peas, whose season will start in a bit.
So what makes this bagel so amazing? Well.. let me tell you. It’s the layer of mint and cashew pesto, which is the first layer and gives the whole recipe a lot of freshness. Then the smashed peas add a little sweetness and the asparagus some extra crunch. The scrambled feta rounds the whole thing up and ensures a smooth transition of tastes.
