Equipment
- 1 Mini Food Processor
- 1 Toaster or Grill
Ingredients
- 2 Warpspeed Bagels (any flavor)
- 6 slices Irvings Bacon (thick or thin variety)
- 1 cup Strathcona Micogreens Brassica Blend
- 1 large Lacombe Fresh Tomato thinly sliced
- 4 leaves Vertical Roots Green Leaf Lettuce
- 1/2 cup Vertical Roots Arugula Leaves
- 1/4 cup Vertical Roots Basil Leaves
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 lemon -juiced
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 2 tbsp chili flakes
Instructions
- In a medium pan, cook the bacon until nicely browned on all sides and turn the heat to low.
- Mix the honey and chili flakes in a small dish and drizzle the spicy honey on both sides of the bacon, allowing the spicy honey to cook onto the bacon. Set aside.
- Take your bagels and grill or toast them. Set Aside.
- Using a small food processor, add the mayo, lemon juice, basil, and arugula to the mixer. Blend until combined.
Time to Build
- Spread the Arugula Aioli on both sides of the toasted or grilled bagel.
- Place 3 slices of bacon on the bottom half of the bagel.
- Place sliced tomato on top of the bacon - as many as you wish. Ideally, 2-3 thin slices will suffice.
- Add microgreens to the bagel on top of the tomato, and again, personal preference will be key here.
- Top the sandwich with 2 lettuce leaves and place the top bagel on top.
If you want this to be spicier, drizzle more honey on top of the aioli before you add the toppings.
