    Stack of two bagel breakfast sandwiches.

    If you’re looking for a hearty start to your morning, try this bagel breakfast sandwich! There are two delicious versions included here (one with mushrooms and spinach and the other with veggie bacon and avocado). Both breakfast sandwiches are utterly cheesy and delicious!

    If you know me, you know how I love hearty breakfast recipes, like this scrambled egg sandwich, western sandwich and pizza omelette. These bagel breakfast sandwiches are no exception! They’re super easy to prepare and so yummy!

    And if you want to go all out, make these bad boys on some homemade bagels.

    I’ve included two delicious versions (because we gotta have options), both incredibly easy, cheesy and straight-up delicious.

    Why We Love These Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches

    • Bagel breakfast sandwiches are a great way to mix up breakfast.
    • These sandwiches can be enjoyed for any meal of the day, really.
    • With bagels and lots of yummy ingredients, they’re super hearty and filling.
    • They’re easy to prepare.
    • These sandwiches can be customized to taste with different garnishes.
    • They taste delicious!

    About Those Eggs

    When making your sandwich, you may be tempting to leave the yolks runny.

    Delicious?

    Of course.

    Messy?

    No doubt.

    Two eggs frying in a frying pan.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love a runny egg sandwich, but some days when I don’t feel like using a bazillion napkins, I break the yolks.

    The reality is that the yolks make for a delicious Instagram worthy pic, but not so much for real-life eatin’. Feel me?

    Having said that, you do you!

    Two eggs frying in a frying pan with the yolks broke.

    After your eggs are flipped, top them with cheese, cover and allow it to melt into melty cheesy goodness.

    I was almost, just almost, temped to throw those eggs onto a plate and dig in, lol.

    Can I Use Something Else Besides Veggie Bacon?

    Of course!

    If you don’t want to use veggie bacon, you can your bagel sandwich with crispy regular bacon or pan-fried deli meat (like ham or bologna).

    Tips for Making This Recipe

    • You can pretty much garnish these with whatever veggie toppings you like. If there’s something you like more of, add more. Alternatively, if you don’t enjoy something, omit it.
    • I whipped up a flavoured mayonnaise to go on these bagel sandwiches, but you can simply use mayonnaise, butter or whatever condiment you enjoy best.
    • Any variety of bagel works in this recipe, but an “everything” bagel adds lovely flavour and texture.

    Ingredients
     

    Veggie Bacon and Egg Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

    • 1 bagel
    • ½ avocado, pitted and peeled
    • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon hot sauce, like Sriracha or your favourite variety
    • 3 slices veggie bacon, cooked according to package instructions (or regular bacon or ham cooked according to package instructions)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon butter
    • 1 slice American cheese, or about 1 ounce (¼ cup) of shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 roma tomato, sliced
    • few slices thinly sliced red onion

    Mushroom and Spinach Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

    • 1 bagel
    • 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 ounces fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 60 grams)
    • 2 teaspoons butter, divided
    • pinch salt
    • pinch freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 handfuls baby spinach
    • pinch ground nutmeg
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 ounce shredded mozzarella cheese, about ¼ cup
    • few slices thinly sliced red onion

    Instructions

    Veggie Bacon and Egg Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

    • Carefully slice bagel in half (horizontally) and toast.
    • Mash avocado in a bowl and set aside.
    • Mix mayonnaise with hot sauce in a small dish and set aside.
    • Cook veggie bacon according to package instructions. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    • Crack the egg into a small dish or ramekin.
    • Add 1 teaspoon of butter to a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once butter has melted and is foamy, carefully pour in egg. Allow the egg to cook for about 2 minutes (and whites are mostly set) before breaking yolk.
    • Flip egg to the other side. Add cheese, cover with a lid (so cheese will melt) and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the whites are completely set, everything is cooked to your liking and the cheese has melted.
    • To assemble sandwich, spread avocado over the cut side of the bottom portion of the bagel. Place egg on top, along with cooked veggie bacon, sliced tomato and red onion. Spread mayonnaise over the cut side of the top half of the bagel. Place over top (with mayonnaise on the inside) to form your bagel sandwich. Serve and enjoy!

    Mushroom Spinach Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

    • Carefully slice bagel in half (horizontally) and toast.
    • Mix mayonnaise with chives and set aside.
    • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes.
    • Give mushrooms a little stir and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Season with a pinch each of salt and black pepper and stir in 1 teaspoon of butter. Transfer to a small bowl or plate and set aside.
    • Add spinach to the pan and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in a pinch of nutmeg. Transfer to a small bowl or plate and set aside.
    • Crack an egg into a small dish or ramekin.
    • Add remaining 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan. Once butter has melted and is foamy, carefully pour in egg. Allow the egg to cook for about 2 minutes (and the whites are mostly set) before breaking the yolk.
    • Flip egg to the other side. Add mozzarella cheese, cover with a lid (so cheese will melt) and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the egg whites are completely set, everything is cooked to your liking and the cheese has melted.
    • To assemble sandwich, spread mayonnaise over both cut sides of the bagel. Top the bottom half of the bagel with spinach, cheesy egg, mushrooms and red onion and place the other half of bagel over top (with mayonnaise on the inside) to form your bagel sandwich. Serve and enjoy!

    Notes

    I whipped up a flavoured mayo to go on these bagel sandwiches, but you can simply use mayo, butter or whatever condiment you enjoy best.

      I love a good bagel sandwich! To be honest, I haven’t had one in ages. Lately it’s been all about the cream cheese, but I’ll have to make a bagel sandwich soon. Funny enough, I order 8 dozen (!) everything bagels from Montreal recently. They’re hanging out in the freezer…waiting for a use…and I think I just found it!

      Such a great way to start the day! I love both versions. This is great for breakfast on the go too, ’cause there are some mornings that I am running out the door but I still gotta eat!
