Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)

I love making tasty bagel sandwiches for breakfast. Let’s look at the key ingredients and some fun substitutes for your morning meal.

I begin with an everything bagel. If you don’t have one, you can use a plain, egg, or cheddar jalapeño bagel. The sandwich needs two big eggs, cheddar and American cheese slices, and honey ham. If you don’t eat meat, you can use a plant-based option instead.

½ large avocado
1 tablespoon creamy sriracha sauce
½ tablespoon salted butter
Kosher salt

For extra crunch and taste, I add cucumber, red onion, or sprouts. If you want something fancy, smoked salmon is a great choice. These changes let you make your sandwich just how you like it.

My secret ingredient? A dollop of garlic aioli instead of sriracha sauce. It adds a rich, creamy kick that goes great with the bagel.

The best thing about a bagel sandwich is how you can change it up. Feel free to pick and choose ingredients to make your ideal breakfast sandwich!

Instructions

Let’s start making a tasty breakfast sandwich. I’ll show you how to make a yummy bagel sandwich. First, mix mayo, smoked paprika, and sriracha for a zesty sauce. Then, toast your bagel until it’s golden brown.

Next, heat a skillet and melt some butter. Crack eggs into the pan and add salt. Cook until the edges are crispy. Flip the eggs and add cheese slices on top to melt.

While the cheese melts, warm some ham in the skillet. This makes the sandwich even better.

Now, it’s time to put the sandwich together. Spread creamy avocado on the bagel’s bottom half. Add warm ham, cheesy egg, and top with sriracha sauce.

The key to a perfect bagel sandwich is layering flavors and textures.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I love finding easy meal prep tips. For bagel sandwiches, I cook eggs ahead and keep them in the fridge. This saves time on busy mornings. I also pre-cut bagels and store them in their original packaging to keep them fresh.

Storing bagel sandwiches right is important for keeping them tasty. I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. They stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. If I need to store them longer, I freeze them for up to a month.

Reheating bagel sandwiches is easy with my tips. For a crispy sandwich, I put it on a baking sheet and broil on low until it’s hot. If I’m in a hurry, I wrap it in foil and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions

I love trying new things with bagel sandwiches to make breakfast fun. My top mix is bacon, egg, and smoked cheddar on a cheese bagel. I add pickled jalapeños and hot honey for a spicy taste. It’s so yummy!

Want something new? Try Canadian bacon and muenster cheese on a whole wheat everything bagel. Add a runny egg, hollandaise sauce, and fresh spinach for a special touch. For a Mediterranean taste, put pesto on a garlic bagel. Then, layer it with sausage, mozzarella, egg, peppers, and onions.

For a lighter option, make a veggie bagel sandwich with cream cheese and fresh veggies. Serve it with fruit salad, hash browns, or yogurt parfait. For a full breakfast, add horchata coffee and cinnamon rolls.
