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!
Hi 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 way to mix up your breakfast routine
- Can be enjoyed for any meal of the day, really
- Super hearty
- 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. Alternatively, 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.

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!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Whoa! That’s a lot! This bagel sandwich is the perfect use for ’em 😉
