Butterkäse with Chives: Use a 1:1 swap of whipped cream cheese and add freshly chopped chives for a similar flavor and texture.
Storage
- Bagel chips soften quickly once topped with cheese, so it’s best to assemble these right before serving or in small batches.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day, but the texture of the bagels may become a little soft.
- As for the salmon, once opened, it can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to 7 days.
