Miami Cream Cheese


Todd "The Senator" Halstead came for a quick visit this past weekend and we couldn't help but whip up a batch of Miami cream cheese for old time's sake. An everything bagel loaded with this savory spread was a staple during our Framingham recording sessions back in the late 90's.

Miami Cream Cheese

1 block of regular cream cheese, softened on the counter for 15 minutes
3 small scallions
1 cup smoked salmon
2 tablespoons of horseradish

These small scallions add some crunch and savory goodness.

Get yourself a good fresh prepared horseradish - if it has been in the fridge for more than 3 months, replace it for recipes like this.

Chop up the salmon into bite sized pieces and thinly slice the scallions.

Lillie monitors the whipping process. Whip until blended and the salmon begins to flake.

The final product won't be around for long.

Fresh veggies for the most flavorful sandwich ever.

Slice and toast your everything bagels in the oven!

Now that's a sandwich!

Sadie ate the whole thing.

Halstead only ate two fingers this time.
