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 vegetarian breakfast sandwiches are utterly cheesy and delicious!
Hey friends!
If you know me, you know how I love hearty breakfast recipes…hello scrambled egg sandwich, Western sandwich and pizza omelette.
Today, though, I’m mixing things up with a vegetarian breakfast sandwich – bagel breakfast sandwiches, to be exact.
And if you want to go 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 Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches
- They’re a great make-ahead breakfast
- Can be enjoyed for any meal of the day, really
- Super hearty (you really don’t need anything to go with…aside from coffee, of course 😉 )
- Easy to prepare
- 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.
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!
After your eggs are flipped, top ’em 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 (or need) these bagel sandwiches to be vegetarian, you can top with crispy bacon or ham.
More Recipe Tips
You can pretty much garnish these with whatever veggie toppings you like. If there’s something you like more of, add more. Conversely, if you don’t enjoy something, omit it.
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.
Any variety of bagel works in this recipe, but an ‘everything’ bagel adds lovely flavour and texture.
Make these breakfast sandwiches ahead of time, wrap up and reheat the next day! They reheat great in the microwave. I like to heat on 30 second intervals until I get the sandwich to where I want it.
