Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This avocado and tomato bagel sandwich makes a delicious breakfast or lunch! The combination of flavors is so fresh and summery too! Add an egg for extra protein or leave off and use dairy free cream cheese to make it vegan friendly. Simply use a gluten-free bagel to make it completely gluten-free!

Avocado and Tomato Bagel Sandwich up closeI look forward to the spring each year when all of my plants finally wake up from hibernation. It’s so exciting to see all the tiny green sprouts growing from the dirt and on the bare branches of my plants. It marks the beginning of warmer weather, backyard bbqs with family and friends, and fresh summer produce!

Each year I wait impatiently to see which herbs will grow back and which ones I’ll have to replace. For the past 4 years, my chive plant hasn’t just grown back, but it grows fuller with more chive blossoms every year. One of my favorite ways to use my chives is to make chive and onion cream cheese. It’s yummy on so many things, like toast, bagels, and sandwiches.

I also used it in this savory asparagus tart, which is as pretty as it is delicious!

I start with a toasted gluten-free everything bagel, which I generously slather with my homemade chive and onion cream cheese. Then I top it with slices of heirloom tomatoes, creamy avocado slices, and lots of fresh basil. The basil adds such a fresh and delicious flavor, so don’t skip it!

It’s such a simple yet flavorful meal or snack that I’ve been eating it on repeat these past few weeks. Great way to use up some of those herbs growing abundantly in your herb garden too!

The perfect veggie sandwich:

  1. Bread: The perfect sandwich starts with good bread. The options are endless here—sourdough, white, wheat, bagels, buns, ciabatta, gluten-free, grain-free, etc. It can be plain or have sesame seeds, everything seasoning, or onions. Use your favorite!
  2. To toast or not to toast, that is the question: Toast, definitely!
  3. Creamy Spread: I love the chive and onion cream cheese addition, but mayo will also work in a pinch.
  4. Greens: Basil adds SO much flavor to this sandwich, but feel free to use a good lettuce or some baby spinach.
  5. Fillings: Tomato slices, avocado, cucumber, sprouts… for protein, you can add a fried egg, a few slices of turkey, vegan/regular bacon, etc. Lots of options!
  6. Flavor: Sprinkle of salt and pepper is a must, but you can also use everything bagel seasoning and/or pepperoncini or banana peppers to add extra flavor.

Description

These avocado and tomato bagel sandwiches make a delicious breakfast or lunch! The combination of flavors is so fresh and summery! Add an egg for extra protein or leave off and use dairy free cream cheese to make it vegan friendly. Just use a gluten-free bagel to make it completely gluten-free!


Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Sandwich: (makes 1)

1 toasted bagel (Use gluten-free if needed. I like everything bagels)

1/2 avocado, pitted and sliced or mashed

2–3 tomato slices, from your favorite tomato (I like heirloom tomatoes)

several basil leaves, roughly chopped/chiffinade

1–2 tablespoons chive and onion cream cheese, recipe below

generous pinch of salt and pepper

Chive & Onion Cream Cheese:

8 oz. regular or dairy-free cream cheese, softened

3–4 tablespoons minced red onion, more or less to taste

1–2 tablespoons chopped chives, more or less to taste

2–4 chive blossoms, broken up and petals separated, optional

pinch of salt and pepper


Instructions

Chive & Onion Cream Cheese:

In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, red onion, chives, and chive blossoms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Best if made ahead of time so the flavors have time to develop, but I’ve also used it right after making. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Bagel Sandwich:

Spread a generous amount of chive and onion cream cheese on one or both bagel halves. Layer bottom half of bagel with tomato slices, then top with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add avocado, then the fresh basil. Place other half of bagel on top and enjoy!
