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.
