Ingredients
- 3 slices of Bacon
- 2 Everything Bagels
- 6 slices of Turkey
- Cheddar Cheese
- 4 slices of Heirloom Tomato
- ½ an Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- Stone Ground Mustard
Instructions
- First, you need to heat your oven so that you can prepare the bacon. Heat your oven to 375 degrees, and place three slices of bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until crispy, this will take about 12 minutes. Then blot the extra grease with a paper towel and cut each slice of bacon in half.
- Slice your bagels if they aren't already. Start by layering 3 slices of turkey on each bagel. Add the tomatoes on top. Then add the cheese - I used Cabot's presliced cheddar which is smaller than the big slices from the deli and better suited for a bagel sandwich. I used 3 slices per sandwich.
- Place the bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet. I bake them without putting the top of the bagel on top of the sandwich, I leave it on the side to toast. This makes it easier to add the avocado mayo and/or mustard before serving.
- Bake the sandwiches for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. While the sandwiches bake, mash the avocado and mayonnaise together. Before serving the sandwiches, add a thick layer of avocado mayonnaise. If you like you can also add some stone ground mustard. Serve immediately.
