Herb n Veggie Bagel Sandwich
~5 ingredients — difficulty: level 1
I don't always eat my Bagels out of bowls, but I couldn't be bothered to wash a plate so
the bagel sandwich of ur dreams
It's slowly turning to spring in the Northern Hemisphere and you know what that means? ~Salad Greens~
Whenever I'm feeling bold and buy one of those bags of Baby Lettuce, I'm always looking to find ways to use it in the approximately 0.5 seconds before it goes soggy.
Enter: Veggie Bagel Sandwich.
This handheld deliciousness a really great, quick, and simple meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, whatever. I find it's simple enough to eat on consecutive days or for repeat meals, which is a huge plus for decision fatigued ADHD brains. Plus, the fresh Veggies really help me feel like we're creeping out of the winter lull and into sunnier days.
Give it a go! Sub a GF Bagel as needed.
[Makes: 1 Bagel Sandwich]
Ingredients
Everything Bagel (or something else Savory)
Cucumber
1 x Green Onion
Baby Salad Greens or Spinach
Herbed or Green Onion Cream Cheeze (I like Kite Hill)
Salt
Black Pepper
Equipment
Toaster
Sharp Knife
Instructions
Gather your ingredients!
Pop your Bagel into the Toaster.
Cut your Cucumber into 3-4 thin slices and chop the Green Onion into thin pieces. Rinse off your Salad Greens, if needed. Sprinkle all your Veggies with a pinch of Salt.
Spread some Cream Cheeze on your toasty Bagel halves and top with a bit of Black Pepper.
Layer and smoosh your Veggies between the bagel halves.
And that's it! Stick a toothpick in the middle (if you're so inclined) and enjoy!
Notes
If you Cream Cheeze is un-Herbed and you want to, uh, Herb it, add some Dill and Parsley. Tiny diced fresh leaves or dried are both great options.
This Sandwich is also excellent with fresh Sprouts instead of the Salad Greens. It's also great without the Greens.
I should mention— the pinch of Salt here is totally worth adding if you can. It really brings out the flavors of the Veggies and makes the whole thing feel fancier.
do yall like these sorts of recipes?
By "these sorts", I mean, relatively simple ideas that generally make food for just one meal?
I've been on the brink of burnout for a while now and find myself without the bandwidth to cook larger, multi-meal meals more than once or twice a week. So, these simpler and quick meals are the things I've been eating most often lately. You can find some of those burnout friendly meals here.
That said, I'd like to start posting more after my unexpected (and surprisingly long) several-month hiatus and would really value some input.
Are you looking for any specific category or type of recipe? Or do you want more multiple meal ideas like my Savory Breakfast and Sweet Breakfast posts? General cooking tips like this one on making ADHD cooking a little bit easier?
