I love breakfast and I LOOOVE sandwiches. Everything from my ultimate veggie sandwiches, French dip sandwiches, grinder sandwiches to my classic BLT Sandwiches. All are amazing. This is a breakfast (or lunch) sandwich option. Let’s get started.
Ingredients You’ll Need for a Bagel Sandwich
- Bagels. I like to buy my bagels. Los Angeles has lots of good options (think: Maury’s, Courage Bagels or Layla’s).
- Cream cheese. I love to make my own homemade cream cheese. Store-bought is great too.
- Smoked salmon. I love to buy wild-caught smoked salmon. It’s delicious.
- Sprouts. They are underrated. They add such a delicious crunch and texture to all sandwiches.
- Tomato + red onion. These two add texture and freshness.
For the rest of the ingredients, please see the recipe index card below!
How to Make a Bagel Sandwich
- Make an herb cream cheese. I like to make a flavored cream cheese. Mix together the dill, cream cheese and Italian parsley.
- Cook the egg. Make a scrambled egg in a small skillet.
- Toast the bagels. I like toasted bagels. Some people don’t; do as you wish!
- Assemble the bagel sandwiches.
Recipe Tip
Variations. Here are some other options for filling ideas:
- Crispy bacon, scrambled egg and American cheese. Yum.
- Homemade cream cheese, smoked salmon, pickled red onions and lots of dill and capers.
- Homemade cream cheese, heirloom tomatoes, sliced cucumber and lots of sprouts.

- 6 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions
- This is hardly a recipe. But here it goes: mix the cream cheese with the fresh Italian parsley and dill. Set aside.
- Cook the scrambled eggs in a medium non-stick skillet until soft and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- To assemble the bagels, smother the cream cheese on the bottom half of the bagels. Divide the scrambled eggs amongst the bagels. Top with a few slices of smoked salmon, cucumber, red onion, tomato and a handful of sprouts. Cut the sandwich in half and eat immediately.

Sounds delicious but with smoked salmon in it it hardly is vegetarian.
