Making a good sandwich means using the appropriate type of bread. Sliced salami and hard cheeses are ok in bagels as they can stay in place and don't fall apart while you try to bite through it. Try to make a salami sandwich with soft white bread and the bread can rip apart in your hands as you try to rip off a chunk of the salami. Soft, creamy fillings like tuna or egg salad should go in soft breads or else you get the toothpaste tube effect that you do with bagels.
Mostly agreed but:
A lot of good NY bagels don't have a hole. So it's just a type of dense roll that's been boiled to have a crispy shell and soft interior.that said, it's still really dense and heavy, causing the effect you describe to still take place as you bite into it because there is less give.
However, this doesn't have to affect the creamy fillings at all... In any bagel, you can scoop out the interior of at least one of the halves. This allows you to replace it with things like tuna. This keeps it in place.
The above doesn't always help you with other non-creamy but slidey toppings like tomato or roasted peppers.
OP sandwiches, but you bagel sandwich.
if you grow up in places without a good bagel culture, you're not gonna learn how to eat your sandwich on a bagel.
I prefer a lightly toasted soft bread and the inclusion of a slice of lettuce for this reason. Just enough of a toasting to get only the outside layer of the slice crispy while still having a lot of give to the slice when you bite into it.
I like salami with cheese on soft bread, but sometimes you're trying to take a bite and the whole slice of salami slides out and you kind of just have to eat it on its own
a proper freshly made bagel needs no toasting and is honestly only worsened by it. standard prepackaged steamed bagels though? yeah you better toast them bitches.
Interesting. I prefer them whole, as it makes the vertical to horizontal ratio feel more stable.
Otherwise it falls into the same trap burgers at restaurants do where it’s so tall and skinny that nothing stays in place
As someone who's had hundreds of bagel sandwiches, I will 1000% disagree with you here. Maybe you're just not making the right type of sandwiches for them.
Good Bagels are hard to get in like 99% of the country. Bagels I bring back from nyc and freeze are better than any bagel from a bagel bakery around me.
I actually bring a duffel just for Bagels every time I go there now lol
Haha you are bringing me back, I live in NY and have an amazing bagel place a block away now, but I used to live in Europe. My dad is from NYC and we came here a lot. We would buy a huge amount of bagels right before the flight and freeze them on arrival.
I’ve had the so called good bagels from Chicago, Philadelphia, etc… they just don’t cut it. Honestly even in NY there are tons of shit bagels if you don’t know where to go.
Op out here making double decker burgers with the works and grated cheese lol.
I’ve always been frustrated with lettuce wraps even though it’s my favorite vessel because it’s hard to find properly sized leaves, and if you put stuff on them it often touches your hands or falls out when you take a bite, and the lettuce doesn’t break evenly. I power through it though
Two other issues.
They're too thick. It's already hard enough to get your mouth around a proper sandwich without an extra inch of bread.
Bagels are too solid. If the bread is harder than the contents within then they will squish out before your teeth even get through that doughy dud.
This was in Kuna, by the way, a town with lots of cows and one single bbq “restaurant”. No idea what they’re doing with all those cows but the whole town smells like manure all the time.
Toast the bagel. It solves the thickness and the solidness problem. Most toasters have a bagel setting that only toasts the inside. Bagels are delicious for sandwiches, but not raw, untoasted bagels lol
Why has no one invented a so-called bagel puncher?
You make your sandwich in your bagel and then punch out the middle. That middle bite is always weird, I don't need it.
It sounds to me like this opinion might not be based on a good reference bagel. If you go to a place with proper New York bagels (where the hole is so small because the whole bagel is so perfectly puffed up) the hole becomes a non issue. As a Manhattanite my favorite neighborhood bagel place was Murray's Bagels (at 6th Avenue and 13th Street). I'd order the Nova Scotia salmon with a shmear of fluffy cream cheese, red onion and capers. And despite all of those slippery ingredients, everything stayed inside perfectly. So I can tell you from a LOT of experience that good bagels make fine sandwich bread.
NAH. My go-to sandwich like every day for a whole year in high school was a deli everything bagel with cream cheese turkey provolone lettuce and tomatoes. God tier.
If stuff is falling out it, it sounds like you aren't holding the sandwich correctly. Index and ring fingers on top, thumb and pinky on bottom. Lock the breads in place.
Thats why you either toast it or apply the sauce early, then smash it a lil. Bagels are best for a smear of something but a toasted breakfast bagel cut in half and smashed down a lil, perfecto.
I absolutely love bagels but I think I agree with you exept for with breakfast sandwiches. Fried eggs and bacon on good quality bagels are so good albeit very messy.
Ciabatta is the ultimate sandwich bread imo.
Only works if you’ve got some flat slices of cheese or meats or pickles or something to put on the bottom for more structure and to avoid stuff falling through the hole
Otherwise I almosts don’t even bother with the bagel, which sucks because it really does slap sometimes, especially toast ohhhh
They’ve been coming back slowly. Florida got them about a year ago, SoCal should have rolled out last month.
I waited so long for my Steak Egg Cheese Bagel.
As someone who works a job where I usually only have a few minutes to eat during a 12 hour shift, I appreciate the fact that a bagel fills me up a lot more than bread. Quality of the sandwich aside, for this reason I prefer bagel sandwiches 🤷🏼♂️
You've just described what *all* sandwiches are, at least for me. Unless we're talking thin cold cut sandwiches or peanut butter and jelly, I pretty much eat all sandwiches these days with a knife and fork and deconstruct them a little at a time while I eat. Less mess, less fuss, more joy.
Honestly, I eat 2 bagels everyday, and I make scrambled eggs with my bagel. I can’t for the life of me ever get the eggs to stay on the damn bagel. It infuriates me
It depends on the sandwich. If you ever come to New Jersey, treat yourself to a pork roll, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel. It’s amazing and I don’t know why pork roll is not popular outside of NJ.
Also, bagels are so much better in NY and NJ, it’s bizarre. This isn’t snobbery, [it’s something to do with the water.](https://www.foodandwine.com/news/new-york-water-bagels-pizza) No, seriously. It’s also why pizza is so much better here- there are pizzeria owners that have even tried having NY water imported from NY to Florida, but it’s obviously not cost effective. It’s so weird, but if you’ve never had NY/NJ bagels (or pizza), make sure to try it when you’re here.
You’re right about the stuff falling out, but a bagel (a real NYC bagel, not bagel shaped bread) makes certain sandwiches taste incredible
Bagel bacon egg and cheese
Turkey Swiss with mustard
Absolutely delicious on a fresh bagel
I made a sandwich once with a bagel that was so thick it basically had no hole and I was like "Wow that's so convenient!" and then I could see my regular bread staring at me like "Am I a joke to you?"
I'm going to have to disagree. However, if the bagel is untoasted you are correct
Something about toasting a bagel makes it a lot less chewy and way better for a sandwich
You're not wrong BUT let me posit this...Have you had a steamed bagel sandwich? All the good of a bagel but just a little softer and more moist. https://eatcba.com/
not an egg sandwich, my Kroger chain bakery has blueberry bagels, i slice one open, cover each side with butter and reunite, then wrap tightly with foil and put in the oven on 175 for about 30 minutes
meanwhile, i slow cook 3 eggs with butter in a small pan until it becomes one solid, pull out bagel, place egg flat on bottom, trim edges, place excess on top, place top of bagel on top and eat
and that's about as good as it gets for me sometimes
Pepperoni cheese or any charcuterie is a banger in a baggel. Specially hot capicolo even though I can’t find hot one lately they almost are never hot so much that my gf can eat it and she also die with pepper
Why are y'all making sandwiches with an off-brand donut, it clearly doesn't look sandwich shaped in the first place
Sincirely, a confused north european
bagels are my personality and yall are offending me personally /hj
but really i have bagels and bagel sandwiches all the time and never have any issues with stuff falling out.
Hard disagree, there's bagel shop near me that makes a mean ham egg and cheese on a bagel, shit is so solid I can eat one while driving and not loose any of the stuff inside. You need the right bagel and the eggs have to be done the right way, but it's possible.
Breakfast bagel with the right amount of cheese glueing it together is what works for me, definitely need a soft yolk and not a runny yolk... I also like the cut in half with toppings. .
But a sandwich? I agree, it doesn't work...
I love bagel sandwiches. I have a small ass mouth so any sandwich pretty much ends up halfway out of the bread first bite. I’ve just accepted this and do my best lmao. If it tastes good works for me
look, i know antisemitism is a hot button issue atm because of *gestures at everything*....but this...this is anti semitism plain and simple...The Jewish people will not stand for this....
My breakfast on the regular is a Costco plain bagel or cheese bagel with egg whites, turkey sausage, spinach, and pepperjack cheese. Make the eggs omelette style for to ensure they don’t fall apart. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day.
I never have issues with bagel sandwiches. My favorite is a meat like turkey, roasted red pepper/chive onion/garden vegetable cream cheese on one side, mayo on the other, real cheese like asiago, everything bagel. Toasting is optional depending on mood.
You have to have the right innards. You can make a boss bacon egg and cheese on one of you fry the egg right (prefer an onion bagel) and make a cream cheese/avocado/sourcream spread
For me, the only way to eat a bagel is with a smear of cream cheese (which is not half the freaking tub. It’s a topping — a spread. If you want to just eat cream cheese, don’t bother the bagel just take a spoon and eat cream cheese. But I digress.) or with a little salty lox and capers and maybe the hot red onion but not if you’re going anywhere people will smell your breath. (I will accept the tomato. I will eat the tomato. But it will not go on the bagel.) I know it’s fair game for people to put breakfast materials on a bagel — egg, etc. — but to me that’s what a roll is for. So, agree, bagel isn’t for sandwiches.
When you make a bagel sandwich you're supposed to scoop the inner bread out. It makes grooves and helps hold things together. It's also easier to eat that way, biting won't push everything out. Fast food doesn't really do this though
I've used bagels for sandwiches and burgers many times. What I like to do is cook an egg in the middle of the bagel before I slice it in half, it keeps things in and adds flavor. Just make sure you cook the egg just enough to be solid.
Im going to die on this hill alone im sure but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with a bagel instead of bread is better than any other variant I’ve ever had.
Please try “Simit”, also called as Turkish bagel, if you ever see one. In Turkey it is about $0.5-$1, and in the US it is usually under $5.
It is a great delicacy, especially for breakfast, and goes great with tea and some cheese.

I'm not scooping your fuckin' bagel, bro
I dunno, the combo of soft tuna salad with soft, untoasted slices of white bread is just... Bleh. Too much squish, not enough texture.
Even toasted white bread is still a "soft" bread. I am a firm believer of lightly toasted bread for Tuna Fish Salad and Egg Sandwiches.
Yessss light toasted is the way to go. Like not even getting any color on the bread but just enough for a slight crunch
Yes, just do open face with the tuna
Open faced sandwiches? Who do you think you are, the King?
Chop up some celery and mix it in there for some crunch 💥
I prefer a lightly toasted soft bread and the inclusion of a slice of lettuce for this reason. Just enough of a toasting to get only the outside layer of the slice crispy while still having a lot of give to the slice when you bite into it.
Smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel is king. Literally what I’m eating right now lol
Its 5am here and now all I want is an optimal sandwich, and I HOPE you're happy about it
PB & J bagel is good.
Had a toasted one yesterday 👌🔥
The Bahn Mi is the prime example of how the wrong bread is just wrong.
I like salami with cheese on soft bread, but sometimes you're trying to take a bite and the whole slice of salami slides out and you kind of just have to eat it on its own
I'm sorry but there's no other vehicle for a cream cheese, egg and bacon sandwich.
Cream cheese is about the most popular filling for bagel sandwiches. I don’t seem to have a problem keeping the cheese in the sandwich.
Actually kinda love that bonus hit of cream cheese when I get to the middle of my breakfast bagel
Traditionally bagels are eaten with lox and schmear, two toppings that would be so much more practical in a sandwich with more structural integrity
I find cutting them in half allows me to eat it with far less mess. Toasting also helps break through the “squishyness”
I thought we were supposed to toast them? Are people here just eating cold solid bagels?
Fresh bagels from a legit bagel place are warm if you’re lucky and traditionally not toasted. A lot of people toast them these days regardless though.
For a good place you dont even have to be lucky to get one warm. Theyre usually making them consistently till around 10 or 11
My favorite part about NY
Fresh Bagels gotta go on my list of things to try one day
a proper freshly made bagel needs no toasting and is honestly only worsened by it. standard prepackaged steamed bagels though? yeah you better toast them bitches.
I always toast mine
Interesting. I prefer them whole, as it makes the vertical to horizontal ratio feel more stable. Otherwise it falls into the same trap burgers at restaurants do where it’s so tall and skinny that nothing stays in place
You should probably start learning with a car before driving a bagel.
You don’t need a license to drive a sandwich
Now that we're men, we can do anything!
If you can dodge a bagel you can dodge a dodgeball
As someone who's had hundreds of bagel sandwiches, I will 1000% disagree with you here. Maybe you're just not making the right type of sandwiches for them.
Maybe he thinks bagel shaped bread that you get in a grocery store is somehow an actual bagel.
Good Bagels are hard to get in like 99% of the country. Bagels I bring back from nyc and freeze are better than any bagel from a bagel bakery around me. I actually bring a duffel just for Bagels every time I go there now lol

Soft fresh bagel. Not grocery store bagel. A sandwich in a grocery store bagel is like a punishment.
Feel like a lot of these people aren't from NJ. Breakfast bagels (Taylor ham/sausage/bacon egg and cheese with s/p/k) are to die for
NJ bagel team, **assemble!**
Assembling... nothing like a bacon, egg, and cheese on a fresh toasted bagel
As someone who is stuck on the West Coast, I permanently dream of eating East Coast food, and southern cooking
Um, it's pork roll 😉
Once at a bbq restaurant in Idaho I was served a “pulled pork sandwich” on what was clearly a bagel from Winco. Worst sandwich I’ve ever had.
That's what you get for being in idaho🤷♂️
This was in Kuna, by the way, a town with lots of cows and one single bbq “restaurant”. No idea what they’re doing with all those cows but the whole town smells like manure all the time.
Well shit!
Should have just served pulled pork with mashed potatoes, goes pretty hard
You need to heat them up properly. Cold vs hot is like night and day. They're really soft when hot.
Toast the bagel. It solves the thickness and the solidness problem. Most toasters have a bagel setting that only toasts the inside. Bagels are delicious for sandwiches, but not raw, untoasted bagels lol
Are you eating your bagels raw/cold? You're supposed to toast them, they aren't even remotely hard/solid.
Are bagel thins still a thing? I really enjoyed those for sandwiches
I don't know. At least it's tire shaped. I've never seen a baguette move. Just saying.
Maybe that’s the real problem…someone was trying to reinvent the wheel…and came up with a crappy sandwich instead.
That’s, like, your opinion man
Literally just had one and it was perfect and delicious!!
Why has no one invented a so-called bagel puncher? You make your sandwich in your bagel and then punch out the middle. That middle bite is always weird, I don't need it.
It sounds to me like this opinion might not be based on a good reference bagel.

So I can tell you from a LOT of experience that good bagels make fine sandwich bread.
I've done enough half assed handy work to be confident in my ability to seal up some holes with salmon patches and cream cheese putty.
The Jewish would disagree
NAH. My go-to sandwich like every day for a whole year in high school was a deli everything bagel with cream cheese turkey provolone lettuce and tomatoes. God tier.
Hearing the buns being under the term ‘vehicle’ is new for me
If stuff is falling out it, it sounds like you aren't holding the sandwich correctly. Index and ring fingers on top, thumb and pinky on bottom. Lock the breads in place.
There’s a place near me called bagel street cafe, and they make a fantastic sandwich with turkey and roast beef. The bagel seems perfect in that way.
Thats why you either toast it or apply the sauce early, then smash it a lil. Bagels are best for a smear of something but a toasted breakfast bagel cut in half and smashed down a lil, perfecto.
Biali's solve all these problems.
The hole in the middle leave’s something to be desired for sure lol
Toast or warm up the bagel This ain’t hard Fried egg open face sandwich on a half bagel most days for breakfast
I absolutely love bagels but I think I agree with you exept for with breakfast sandwiches. Fried eggs and bacon on good quality bagels are so good albeit very messy. Ciabatta is the ultimate sandwich bread imo.
Cream cheese is all u need
Bagel works for a burger really well.
Hmm, I e never tried to drive a bagel
Pizza in the evening. Pizza in the morning. Pizza at supper time. When pizza’s on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime.
Disagree. But it definitely depends on the filling
Me reading this as I eat an everything bagel with salami and pepperoni.
It's ok for something open faced maybe.
A good bagel isn't - an old bagel is terrible, a well-made fresh bagel is a fantastic sandwich vehicle
Only works if you’ve got some flat slices of cheese or meats or pickles or something to put on the bottom for more structure and to avoid stuff falling through the hole Otherwise I almosts don’t even bother with the bagel, which sucks because it really does slap sometimes, especially toast ohhhh
As long as the sandwich gets from point A to point B, I doubt it cares what it's driving. Sandwiches are practical, not flashy.
I don't ever bring up McDonald's except in the case of their long discontinued bagel sandwiches which were the best.
They’ve been coming back slowly. Florida got them about a year ago, SoCal should have rolled out last month. I waited so long for my Steak Egg Cheese Bagel.
I don't know which I prefer more. That or the simple folded egg and bacon. Probably the folded egg. It's been over 10 years for sure.
Northern Virginia has had them for like a year at least. I was ordering steak egg cheese bagels at least a year ago.
As someone who works a job where I usually only have a few minutes to eat during a 12 hour shift, I appreciate the fact that a bagel fills me up a lot more than bread. Quality of the sandwich aside, for this reason I prefer bagel sandwiches 🤷🏼♂️
You've just described what *all* sandwiches are, at least for me. Unless we're talking thin cold cut sandwiches or peanut butter and jelly, I pretty much eat all sandwiches these days with a knife and fork and deconstruct them a little at a time while I eat. Less mess, less fuss, more joy.
Speak for yourself. There is nothing better than a turkey sandwich on a costco parmesan bagel.
on the contrary, those Thomas or Pepperidge Farm everything bagels are terrible bagels but awesome sandwich breads
Honestly, I eat 2 bagels everyday, and I make scrambled eggs with my bagel. I can’t for the life of me ever get the eggs to stay on the damn bagel. It infuriates me
Not for a bacon egg and cheese. The egg and cheese fill the voids in the bagel making it a perfect breakfast sandwich.
Turkey, bacon, and avocado on a six cheese bagel is one of my favorite sandwiches.
Open faced sandwiches are so hot right now.
Top thick in parts, too hard, and the hole in the middle means condiments or toppings would spill out, totally agree.
Have you never eaten McDonald’s bagel ham egg n cheese sandwich when it was around???? It was perfect.
You’re not wrong. Bagels are meant for cream cheese or are good for open faced sandwiches.
It depends on the sandwich. If you ever come to New Jersey, treat yourself to a pork roll, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel. It’s amazing and I don’t know why pork roll is not popular outside of NJ. Also, bagels are so much better in NY and NJ, it’s bizarre. This isn’t snobbery, [it’s something to do with the water.](https://www.foodandwine.com/news/new-york-water-bagels-pizza) No, seriously. It’s also why pizza is so much better here- there are pizzeria owners that have even tried having NY water imported from NY to Florida, but it’s obviously not cost effective. It’s so weird, but if you’ve never had NY/NJ bagels (or pizza), make sure to try it when you’re here.
Why is the word actually included as if this were an unpopular opinion. This is obvious. There's a freaking hole in the middle.
What and a car is so much better?
Actually the best sandwich. Everything bagel makes an absolutely incredible sandwich bread.
This is just a bad opinion, not a shower thought
You’re right about the stuff falling out, but a bagel (a real NYC bagel, not bagel shaped bread) makes certain sandwiches taste incredible Bagel bacon egg and cheese Turkey Swiss with mustard Absolutely delicious on a fresh bagel
I made a sandwich once with a bagel that was so thick it basically had no hole and I was like "Wow that's so convenient!" and then I could see my regular bread staring at me like "Am I a joke to you?"
I'm going to have to disagree. However, if the bagel is untoasted you are correct Something about toasting a bagel makes it a lot less chewy and way better for a sandwich
So many people here have never eaten a real fresh bagel and it shows
You're not wrong BUT let me posit this...Have you had a steamed bagel sandwich? All the good of a bagel but just a little softer and more moist. https://eatcba.com/
I agree, although there’s a bagel place in town that makes amazing breakfast sandwiches with fresh soft bagels.
Can we please shut down this sub
Use the bagel backwards; flat side out
Barely any cargo space and terrible fuel consumption
idk man As an european I never understood why I would take a donut shaped thing for a sandwich on the other hand we also have brezel sandwiches
Where would you even put the engine? Of course bagels aren't good vehicles. Don't try to turn food into a vehicle, wtf
The only bagel sandwich I semi like is a breakfast sandwich with a shit ton of bacon and an over easy egg.
Maybe you’re using old/crappy bagels?
You’re not wrong. I love an open faced bagel with cream cheese. Maybe other toppings. But I would choose any other bread for a sandwich.
not an egg sandwich, my Kroger chain bakery has blueberry bagels, i slice one open, cover each side with butter and reunite, then wrap tightly with foil and put in the oven on 175 for about 30 minutes meanwhile, i slow cook 3 eggs with butter in a small pan until it becomes one solid, pull out bagel, place egg flat on bottom, trim edges, place excess on top, place top of bagel on top and eat and that's about as good as it gets for me sometimes
Hard disagree. Ham and cheddar on a bagel is delicious and doesn’t fall apart unless you’re making a Dagwood, in which case that’s on you.
Because making a sandwich with a bread of an ordinary shape isn't cool enough.
nah an egg cheddar bagel sandwich is delicious
Pepperoni cheese or any charcuterie is a banger in a baggel. Specially hot capicolo even though I can’t find hot one lately they almost are never hot so much that my gf can eat it and she also die with pepper
Place the fillings around the circumference leaving the middle. Or use large cheese slices, if cheese, that can cross the middle.
Bagels are goated as burger buns
I was just eating a plain bagel Bagelception
Why are y'all making sandwiches with an off-brand donut, it clearly doesn't look sandwich shaped in the first place Sincirely, a confused north european
Toasted brown and crispy
bagels are my personality and yall are offending me personally /hj but really i have bagels and bagel sandwiches all the time and never have any issues with stuff falling out.
OP is not from the East Coast.
I'm waiting for the New Yorkers to read this to filth
Hard disagree, there's bagel shop near me that makes a mean ham egg and cheese on a bagel, shit is so solid I can eat one while driving and not loose any of the stuff inside. You need the right bagel and the eggs have to be done the right way, but it's possible.
Some sandwiches are worth using utensils for.
Idk man I've had a lot of good bagel sandwiches
I mean being round it can be its own wheel, being mostly carbohydrates it can be its own source of energy.
Bagels are delivery devices for cream cheese
Breakfast bagel with the right amount of cheese glueing it together is what works for me, definitely need a soft yolk and not a runny yolk... I also like the cut in half with toppings. . But a sandwich? I agree, it doesn't work...
All I'm saying we need to make round sandwiches WIDER not higher, please make this a thing asap
Was anyone arguing that it wasn't?
I love bagel sandwiches. I have a small ass mouth so any sandwich pretty much ends up halfway out of the bread first bite. I’ve just accepted this and do my best lmao. If it tastes good works for me
Stuff falls out everywhere? How the fuck are you eating bagels?
As a New Yorker I feel obligated to say that your brain specifically is a terrible vehicle for opinions.
Bagels make awesome breakfast sandwiches
look, i know antisemitism is a hot button issue atm because of *gestures at everything*....but this...this is anti semitism plain and simple...The Jewish people will not stand for this....
Totally agree, bagels make poor sandwiches and are tacky and stick to one’s teeth. I ignore them at every opportunity.
My breakfast on the regular is a Costco plain bagel or cheese bagel with egg whites, turkey sausage, spinach, and pepperjack cheese. Make the eggs omelette style for to ensure they don’t fall apart. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day.
The bagels are just the wheels. You construct the rest of the vehicle from other kinds of bread.
My favorite sandwich is a nova lox. I can't imagine eating it not inside a bagel.
Not when it’s open faced
I never have issues with bagel sandwiches. My favorite is a meat like turkey, roasted red pepper/chive onion/garden vegetable cream cheese on one side, mayo on the other, real cheese like asiago, everything bagel. Toasting is optional depending on mood.
Cream cheese, turkey, spring mix on an everything bagel. The cream cheese makes everything stay put just right
You have to have the right innards. You can make a boss bacon egg and cheese on one of you fry the egg right (prefer an onion bagel) and make a cream cheese/avocado/sourcream spread
The McDonalds steak, egg and cheese bagel was a great breakfast sandwich.
Just swap out condiments for Gorilla Glue
I use them to make breakfast sandwiches. Lightly toasted to soften it, egg, cheese and sausage.
Indeed, a bagel doesn't have a sandwich license.
Panera does it right
For me, the only way to eat a bagel is with a smear of cream cheese (which is not half the freaking tub. It’s a topping — a spread. If you want to just eat cream cheese, don’t bother the bagel just take a spoon and eat cream cheese. But I digress.) or with a little salty lox and capers and maybe the hot red onion but not if you’re going anywhere people will smell your breath. (I will accept the tomato. I will eat the tomato. But it will not go on the bagel.) I know it’s fair game for people to put breakfast materials on a bagel — egg, etc. — but to me that’s what a roll is for. So, agree, bagel isn’t for sandwiches.
When you make a bagel sandwich you're supposed to scoop the inner bread out. It makes grooves and helps hold things together. It's also easier to eat that way, biting won't push everything out. Fast food doesn't really do this though
Counterpoint: Bagels are the perfect delivery vehicle for lox and cream cheese
I've used bagels for sandwiches and burgers many times. What I like to do is cook an egg in the middle of the bagel before I slice it in half, it keeps things in and adds flavor. Just make sure you cook the egg just enough to be solid.
Bagels were the original bread at Holy Communion.
It's meant for open faced consumption.
Im going to die on this hill alone im sure but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with a bagel instead of bread is better than any other variant I’ve ever had.
This is an r/unpopularopinion
It’s also a terrible vehicle. Very low mbg.
Bagels make excellent open-face sandwiches.
Don’t come to New York.

Please try “Simit”, also called as Turkish bagel, if you ever see one. In Turkey it is about $0.5-$1, and in the US it is usually under $5. It is a great delicacy, especially for breakfast, and goes great with tea and some cheese.
That's why you need to lay down a base of cream cheese before you add anything else to it.
I disagree, the best breakfast sandwich is a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel.
