Egg salad on an onion bagel?

[Skittle68]

I'm having a craving for an egg salad sandwich but I don't have any bread. Do you think it would be ok on an onion bagel or do you think it would be too tough for the delicate filling?

Mmmmmmm good idea! Too bad I was too impatient to wait!! I poke a hole in the large end of the egg, drop directly into boiling water, and reduce heat to low. Eggs stay covered for 10 min, then are plunged into ice water until chilled. Eggs prepared this way are very tender and easy to peel. I chop them and mix them with half mayo, half miracle whip, a couple tablespoons of minced onion, minced pickles, and minced celery, a dash of paprika, and a tiny bit of mustard. Usually I use bread, but this time I served open faced on an onion bagel, with lettuce tomato, and some fresh ground pepper. Yum!!

Do it and report back. Then we'll know.

Great flavor- but I'm glad I decided to do open faced. I think it would have just gotten too squished otherwise

Open faced solves the problem. The rule of thumb is softer fillings need softer bread.

That is what I was going to suggest, but it looks like you beat me to it.

Sounds yummy! I regularly put tuna salad on a toasted open faced bagel. I always use boiled eggs in the tuna so who's to say if it's "egg salad with tuna" or "tuna salad with egg". I must have lots of fresh ground pepper on the top.
See what you started? Heading for the kitchen.

I alltogether do nto get the doublesided sandwiches. Too much bread, not enough filling.

I usually make my egg or tuna salad open faced. No squishing, and no guilt if I decide to have another.

It sounds a lot better than tuna salad on a cinnamon raisin bagel.

I've never cared for bagels as a sandwich material. A real bagel is a tough chewy bread and that makes it difficult to manage as part of a sandwich. I just stick with cream cheese and lox.

I remeber visiting Carnegy Deli in NY, I ordered bagela and cream cheese and lox. Wow, what they brouth to me was probably 7or 8 inches tall. That is how much lox there wes. I almost fell of my chair.

I eat just about everything on an open-faced bagel - except two all beef patties, etc. lol. Lately I've been buying bagel thins, but prefer more substance, & the plethora of flavors - cheddar, pumpernickle etc. that I buy from the Bakery.

One of my favorites is artichoke tuna melts with provolone.

I like Sandwich Thins for breakfast sandwiches instead of abiscuit or English muffin, but I hate bagel thins. They get crispy when you toast them and bagels should NOT be crispy!
