The Winston (Street Bagels)

I think every college has that street vendor, the one that all the college kids go to after the bars close for some deliciously addictive food from a cart. My college street vendor was Winston's Bagels and we waited in line many nights and paid $3.75 for a char-grilled bagel topped with:

 butter and cream cheese, apples and onions, cinnamon and garlic, cucumbers, raisins, sunflower seeds, and bacon bits.

 It sounds crazy, but it works. Winston grilled the bagels and sliced the toppings for each order right in front of you, but to make every bite a perfect bite, i created Winston's Bagel Spread, with all the ingredients diced up and blended together. We leave out the raisins and sunflower seeds, So good, you can't eat just one.

-1 bag of bagels- we like mini bagels. (This is one of those things we don't make from scratch, but can still buy soy-free)
-2 large apples- peeled and diced
-2 small onions- peeled and diced
-1 cucumber- peeled and diced
-1 stick of butter- cubed
-1 pack of cream cheese
-Real diced bacon
-Cinnamon and garlic

In a bowl, combine all the diced fruit/vegetables. Sprinkle cinnamon and garlic to coat the surface and stir everything up. Honestly, if you're going healthy, you could stop at this stage and eat it like a waldorf salad. It's yummy.

Stir in the cubed butter and then add the cream cheese. It will take a lot of smearing with the back of a spoon to get everything integrated.

Toast your bagel and top it with the mix while warm and sprinkle with chopped bacon.Eat it as a sandwich. Start toasting your next bagel.
