Bacon and Avocado Bagel Sandwiches
When we made these for dinner a few weeks ago, I told Bart “I always feel like sandwiches are a cop-out dinner. But that’s ridiculous because I love sandwiches.”
Also, something about a bagel feels more exciting (mainly because I rarely buy bagels).
I’d seen an avocado and cream cheese bagel on Pinterest, but that seemed a little weak for a dinner.
Add some bacon, tomato and spinach? Now we’re talking.
We had it with a green smoothie and everyone was happy.
Plus, we had enough of all the ingredients leftover to make another round for lunch the next day.

Ta-da! Dinner is served.
My mom and I made something like this just last night, but we didn't have the spinach. Genius! So delicious 🙂
Sandwiches for dinner are pretty much my favorite. I've been loving your weekly menu plans on instragram because you've totally made me realize that dinner doesn't have to be a complicated issue every night! I love that you just simplify sides and have a salad or fruit every night. You're pretty much the dinner champ!
These look so good. I'm a sucker for anything avocado and bacon! The bagel is a fun play on a sandwich!
Yum! I think I might try this on Trader Joe's new pretzel bagels. Just like a warm yummy pretzel roll, but in bagel form!
