Bagels aren’t just for breakfast and sandwiches aren’t just for lunch. The chopped bagel sandwich trend that has emerged from TikTok and Instagram combines the best from both worlds, creating a wonderful experience. Instead of layering your sandwich fillings (as it normally is) you chop them. This method allows a more complete eating experience, where each bite contains a mix of all the ingredients. It makes the sandwich easier to eat, especially on the go. In today’s article I’ll show you a brief list of recipes you can try at home. The instructions are very simple and pretty much the same for every recipe: toast your bagel, chop your ingredients, mix them together and fill the bagel halves with the mixed ingredients.
