Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 everything bagels, split
- 12 slices deli ham
- 12 slices deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Split each everything bagel in half horizontally, creating 12 bagel halves. Arrange the bagel halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly on each bagel half, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer 2 slices of deli ham on the bottom half of each bagel, folding or cutting the meat to fit neatly.
- Add 2 slices of deli turkey on top of the ham, again ensuring even coverage.
- Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the turkey for each bagel half.
- Sprinkle additional everything bagel seasoning over the cheese for extra flavor, if desired.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bagel edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the sandwiches cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Carefully transfer the sandwich halves to serving plates, matching the top and bottom halves.
- Slice each sandwich in half diagonally if desired, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Tips
- Customize Your Meats: Feel free to mix and match your favorite deli meats! Try adding some roast beef or even a slice of pepperoni for an extra kick.
- Extra Flavor: Don’t hesitate to sprinkle some additional everything bagel seasoning on top of the cheese before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the bagel halves and spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture ahead of time, then assemble and bake them just before serving for a fresh taste.
- Serve with Dips: Pair these sandwiches with a side of honey mustard or a creamy ranch dip for an added layer of deliciousness.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on the sandwiches as they bake; ovens can vary, and you want to catch them when the cheese is perfectly melted and the bagels are golden brown.
- Perfect Pairing: These sandwiches go wonderfully with a side salad or some crispy potato chips for a complete meal.
