The Ultimate Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bagel

This was my breakfast today. Super filling and it was as amazing as you would imagine. You can easily prepare this for when you need something on the go as well.

I’ve always loved bagel sandwiches, but not just any regular plain old bagel sandwich, it has to be a superb bagel sandwich that’s loaded. If you read my story about the Costco bagels in my Blueberry Breakfast Bagel post, yes, these are the everything bagels that I purchased from that deal. Slightly crisp on the outside, while chewy on the inside.

I spread a THICK layer of smoked salmon herbed cream cheese, and it was absolutely amazing, because I had added smoked salmon and other fresh ingredients for the sandwich.
