This Vegan Breakfast Bagel Sandwich is stacked high with savory layers on a toasted everything bagel. Hearty enough for weekend brunch but easy enough for weekday mornings.
I am obsessed with bagel sandwiches. I don't make them too often - I am a protein smoothie girlie these days. But let me tell you, these sandwiches are incredible. They are a great savory change of pace from my sweet smoothies.
I buy Kroger's Simple Truth protein bagels, which have 17g of protein per bagel. If I want something simple, I use store-bought vegan bacon and sausage. Or when I want something totally WFPB I make my tofu bacon and seitan chorizo.
Then fresh ingredients like tomato, avocado, and microgreens - I love broccoli sprouts!
The sandwiches are incredibly filling, packed with protein, and a totally satisfying breakfast!

FAQ & Expert Tips
Yes! Cook the sausage and bacon in advance and assemble just before eating for best texture.
This sandwich doesn't have a sauce, so it won't get super soggy. Make sure to place tomato slices between sturdier layers - I put mine in the middle.
Use a gluten-free bagel and double check your meat alternatives are gf as well.
I recommend storing all components separately. Reheat the meat alternatives in the microwave and only toast the bagel right before eating. Assemble each sandwich fresh.
