This delicious sandwich takes the idea of bagels and lox (or smoked salmon) to a whole new level. This smoked salmon bagel sandwich recipe is made with grilled asparagus, pickled red onions, and soft scrambled eggs, along with cream cheese, and fresh dill. It's all loaded up on a toasted everything bagel, and it might just be the best bagel sandwich we've ever made.
Ingredients
1 medium everything bagel
2 large eggs
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 ounces smoked salmon
5 spears grilled, roasted or blanched asparagus
1/4 cup homemade or store-bought pickled red onion, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese
Directions
Gather the ingredients.
Slice the bagel in half crosswise and toast to your liking.
Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and whisk vigorously.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter.
When the butter has melted, pour the eggs into the skillet. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula until the eggs have cooked through but are still soft. Top with the dill and set aside.
Gently place the soft scrambled eggs on the cut side of the bottom half of the bagel. Top with the smoked salmon, asparagus, and pickled red onions.
Spread the cream cheese over the cut side of the remaining bagel half. Close the sandwich, cream cheese side down on the pickled red onions and serve.
