Notes
Let your cream cheese come to room temperature before using it. You’ll be making whipped cream cheese, which is extremely simple to make, and is even easier if the cream cheese is softer first.
This recipe will make more than you need for these servings, so I recommend storing it in a sealed container in the fridge for quick bagel breakfasts later in the week.
You want to use ripe avocados that have some give when you squeeze them. Hard avocados will be crunchy and unappealing to eat, so place them in a brown paper bag on the countertop for a few days to speed up the process if they are too hard.
You can substitute the black sesame seeds for white sesame seeds, pepitas, or even sunflower seeds. I also like to use a more rustic, seedy bread for this dish, but you can use whatever bread you prefer or have on hand.
