Weeknight Dinner: Bagel Egg Sandwiches with Arugula and Pickles

These bagel sandwiches are like a deconstructed deviled egg—bold, creamy, and packed with flavor in every bite. Toasted bagels are layered with jammy eggs, peppery arugula, tangy pickles, and a generous smear of a horseradish dijon sandwich spread. Easy to make, satisfying to eat, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen

Serves 4

Ingredients

1/2 c mayo

2 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp prepared horseradish

Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

4 bagels, split and toasted

4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced

Bread and butter pickles

4 c fresh arugula

Directions

Make sandwich spread: In a small bowl, mix together mayo, dijon mustard, and horseradish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Assemble: For each sandwich, generously coat both sides of the bagel with sandwich spread. Arrange sliced egg on the bottom half of bagel and season with salt and pepper. Add pickles, a handful of arugula, and top half of bagel. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Let's be friends!
