I know this isn't usually the kind of things I post but I felt these were worthy of being featured.
This is a toasted Everything bagel with cream cheese, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, capers, tomatoes and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. I put this under the broil for about a minute until the cheese melts just a bit. This is a meal in itself and it just bursts with flavor. You get the crunch with the bagel and the bacon, the creaminess with the cream cheese, the salty from the capers, the sweetness and smokey flavor from the onions and the refreshing, meaty taste from the tomato. I usually add avocado and season with salt and pepper but I didn't have one. It didn't matter, it was delicious just as it was.
This was a sandwich that I did for the boys lunch. After I made it I just had to take a picture of it because it was so beautiful.
I used crusty sour dough bread that is baked fresh from Trader Joes. I hollowed out the center just a bit so all the goodies would fit inside. I never use mayonnaise because of two reasons. My kids don't like it (I suppose that's because Phil and I don't) and it has to be refrigerated. I used cream cheese and that also serves as a barrier so the bread doesn't get soggy. I salt and peppered that and layered Colby cheese, roast beef and turkey. I added peperoncini's and artisan lettuce. I ended by putting a dressing on the lettuce that I made that night for dinner on our salad and that consisted of grey poupon, red wine, lemon, vinegar, garlic and shallots.
So Very Yummy!
