    Spread 2 tbsp cream cheese on each toasted bagel half, covering the surface evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Pit and halve the 1 cup cherries, then arrange them cut-side down over the cream cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the 2 tbsp chopped cilantro over the cherries for a fresh finish.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, or return to the toaster oven for 2 minutes if you prefer warm cherries.
