1 tbsp Fresh Dill Adds a fresh, herbal note.
1 tsp Lemon Juice Enhances flavors and prevents richness.

Start by laying out all your ingredients on a clean, flat surface.
Place softened cream cheese in a bowl, add dill and lemon juice, and blend until smooth.
Split bagels horizontally. Optionally, lightly toast them.
Spread dill-infused cream cheese mixture on each half of the bagel.
