Everything Bagel Sandwich
Creamy avocado, homemade scallion black pepper cream cheese, and peppery arugula piled high on an everything bagel. This easy, delicious breakfast sandwich comes together in minutes!
Ingredients
Homemade Scallion Black Pepper Cream Cheese:
- 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese room temperature
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 heaping tablespoon finely sliced scallion, green parts only
For the Sandwich Assembly:
- 1 cup baby arugula loosely packed
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- 1 high-quality Everything seasoning bagel
- roughly 2 tablespoons scallion black pepper cream cheese see above
- ½ ripe avocado sliced
- flaky salt for sprinkling
Instructions
For the Cream Cheese:
- Place the room temperature cream cheese in a small food processor and pulse until lightly whipped. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the black pepper, salt, and sliced scallion. Season to taste and set aside for assembly.
Sandwich Assembly:
- Place the arugula leaves in a small bowl. Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice and toast an Everything seasoning bagel. Spread the bottom half with a generous amount (roughly 2 tablespoons) of the scallion black pepper cream cheese spread. Top with sliced avocado and arugula leaves, a sprinkling of flaky salt, and top with remaining bagel half. Slice in half crosswise and serve.
Tips for Success:
- This breakfast bagel sandwich is just as much about the bagel as it is anything else, so get your hands on the best ones that you can find!
- If you are preparing this for a crowd, I recommend doubling the cream cheese. You can prepare it in advance and store it in a container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
