Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich with Veggies and Cream Cheese

This delicious sourdough breakfast sandwich comes together in 15 minutes for a nourishing, balanced, and filling breakfast.

Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich with Sourdough Bagels

If you want a filling, delicious vegan breakfast, this sourdough breakfast sandwich is for you!

This bagel sandwich uses homemade sourdough bagels, homemade vegan cream cheese (recipe included below), fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, and clover sprouts.

If you aren’t into baking and don’t want to make your cream cheese, that’s fine! Many organic bagel options exist, and health food stores usually carry a vegan cream cheese option. For store-bought vegan cream cheese, I like Miyoko’s brand.

Veggie-Focused Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich

Organic Tomatoes: I love adding tomatoes to any sandwich, even breakfast sandwiches. Since tomatoes have a thin skin, I like to buy these organic.

Organic Cucumbers: Cucumbers give this breakfast sandwich a light, refreshing flavor. Cucumbers are another vegetable I like to buy organic. However, conventional cucumbers are great, just peel the skin.

Avocado: This is optional. Avocado, along with the vegan cream cheese, makes for a very creamy sandwich. I like that, but adding avocado isn’t necessary if you don’t.

Vegan Cream Cheese: You need a few ingredients and a high-quality blender or food processor to make smooth vegan cream cheese. I use tofu, soaked cashews, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, sea salt, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, and olive oil for my vegan cream cheese recipe.

Bagels: One of my favorite recipe creations is our New York Style Sourdough Bagels. The sourdough bagels are perfect for these breakfast sandwiches. Feel free to use your favorite store-bought bagels, though.

How to Make Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches with Vegan Cream Cheese

First, you should prep the vegan cream cheese. Just throw the tofu, soaked cashews, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, sea salt, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, and olive oil into a blender and blend on high until smooth.

I love this cream cheese recipe because it contains protein and healthy fats from the tofu and cashews. Since we used this cream cheese, this bagel sandwich is a filling, protein-packed breakfast.

Next, you should slice and toast your bagel. While that is warming up, you can slice your cucumber and tomatoes and wash the sprouts.

To build the sandwich, smear cream cheese on both bagel slices. On one slice, layer tomato, cucumber, and sprouts. Place the other bagel slice on top, and enjoy! For a sandwich on the go, wrap it in some reusable food wrap or pack it in a reusable to-go container.

Tips for Making this Bagel Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich

First, don’t overstuff the sandwich. We layered things pretty high for these bagel sandwich pictures. I don’t suggest this, because it was too big to eat! Stick to just a couple of thin tomato slices and thin cucumber slices.

Try other ingredients if you’d like! Try out avocado, zucchini slices, Kimchi, or a fried egg.

It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, wh It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, while boosting good bacteria in your gut! 

Roasting garlic increases beneficial garlic compounds like diallyl sulfide and diallyl disulfide — or DADS, for short. Both of these compounds have been studied for their anti-inflammatory (anti-cancer), antioxidant, and antifungal properties.

It’s definitely a sauerkraut you should keep in your rotation.

To get the recipe google “garlic sauerkraut.” and you’ll see mine it’s the first one.

I know, I know, I’m making everything with cottage cheese right now. But how can I not? Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-rich fermented foods.

If you love ice cream and cheesecake-like flavor, you’ll love this recipe. it’s high in protein, requires only four simple ingredients, and does not require churning. So, you do not need an ice cream maker!

A half-cup serving of this ice cream has 12 grams of protein, making it a healthy and balanced sweet snack. Get the recipe from the recipe index linked in my profile.

Why do you add water to sauerkraut? To that I as Why do you add water to sauerkraut? 

To that I ask: who told y’all you can’t add water to sauerkraut? 

Adding water standardizes my recipes, making sure everyone gets enough brine, regardless of cabbage variability.

Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and lovely for fermentation. 

Since bok choy and all cabbages grow low and very close to the soil, their microbiome composition is wonderful! This makes all cabbages easy vegetables to ferment, and fermented bok choy is one of my absolute favorites.

Google fermented bok choy and you’ll see my recipe, it’s the first one. ☝🏼 #cabbage #fermentation #homestead
