It’s been so hot and humid here that turning on the stove to cook a meal has lost it’s appeal. So, cold dishes have been the order of the day. I was lurking on the Pioneer Woman’s blog the other day when she posted an awesome looking bagel. My mouth watered immediately and I went in search of our grocery list to jot down the components. I’m so glad I did. This was the best bagel sandwich I’ve ever had.
Start with mushing {that’s a technical cooking term for all you kitchen neophites} some chopped green onion into softened cream cheese. Spread on toasted “everything” bagels. Top with cucumber, shredded carrots, alfafa sprouts, provolone cheese, and whatever other fresh veggies you love. Top with other half of toasted bagel {spread more of the cream cheese/green onion mixture on this one too}. PW added avacado, tomato, muenster & cheddar cheeses to her bagel…but I’m not fond of those. My bagel sandwich was definitely a mouth full & tummy filling.
Thom added Roasted Garlic Mustard to his and it was quite tasty. I forgot to mention a couple of weeks ago, when I drove to meet Alison for lunch, that she gifted me with a basket full of gourmet foods from her gourmet market. So nice and thoughtful of her! So, in the basket, were a couple jars of mustard, which Thom and I love. The roasted garlic was one of ’em.
I should also mention that I am the one who hasn’t actually cooked much this week 😉 Thom has slaved over the hot stove making Chinese stir-fry and pita pizzas for dinner. He’s sweet like that.
YES I AM GOING TO MISS THEM TOO I CRIED WHEN I LEFT THEM AT THE AIRPORT TODAY, I WISH I COULD OF GONE WITH THEM TOO.

Gina that sandwich loks so good!!!!
Your bagel looks delish Gina! I recently discovered the “Everything” bagel chips – I can polish off a whole bag in one sitting even though it’s like a 4 serving bag. My kitchen has been quite too…104 temps??? Geez, you might as well go outside and cook your dinner on the sidewalk!
I had the sandwich for dinner again tonight. So Good!! Must try, uncle Mike!
Alison…I’ve been wanting to try those bagel chips…wasn’t sure I’d like these ones or not..but I did 🙂
