Ingredients
For the egg mayonnaise with salad cress:
2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs (10 minutes)
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp snipped chives
3 tbsp salad cress
salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the tuna and cheese:

50g/2oz grated cheddar
3 tbsp mayonnaise
2 spring onions, finely sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the decoration:
a strip of red pepper
one stuffed olive, sliced
cherry tomatoes, halved
chives

Method
1. Slice the bagels in half and then cut each half down the centre to form a semi-circle. Cut out the head of the snake from one of the pieces of bagel and the tail from another. Mix the ingredients for the tuna topping and mix the ingredients for the egg topping. Spread half of the bagels with tuna and half with egg.
2. Decorate the tuna topping with halved cherry tomatoes and the egg topping with strips of chives arranged in a criss-cross pattern. Arrange the bagels to form the body of a snake. Then attach the head to the snake s body and arrange two slices of stuffed olive to form the eyes and cut out a forked tongue from the strip of red pepper.
