i love these things, maybe more than normal sandwiches. heres what i like to make. if you're vegetarian or vegan this one aint for you, jsyk.
start with an everything-bagel. got that nice texture. toast his ass.
this toasted bagel is gonna have a nice crisp texture on the outside without trying to dig into your gums and give you an occupational injury the way sliced bread crust does. and its not gonna be so easy to waterlog and get all soggy.
Alright, now we're gonna build from the bottom-up
- cream cheese. dont go crazy, we're putting other things on this bagel too its not just cream cheese bagel
- couple thin slices of sandwich meat
- mustard. that nice stone-ground stuff ideally
- honey. honey + mustard > premade honeymustard on a sandwich imho
- slice of cheese
- another couple slices of sandwich meat
- pickles
- another slice or two of sandwich meat
there it is that's the motherfuckin bagel. you might think "damn thats a lot of cheese and meat", and thats true, this amount is like overwhelming on a normal sandwich. but on a bagel sandwich? fuck yeah dude, it rules.
now you wanna spice this guy up with veggies thats a solid choice too, we dont usually just cause the stuff goes bad before we can use it, but ima call out:
- spinach
- onions
- sliced bell pepperss
- jalapenos or your favorite spicy boi
solid options for getting a little extra plant something in there. just try to have something pickled one way or another for the acidity, its crucial to cutting through the cheese i think. hell, you could just do a little lime juice for it if you're not into the usual pickle fair. but its a sandwich, go crazy with it. the bagel opens up so many possibilities
