About the Ingredients:
This Vegan Breakfast Bagel Sandwich is loaded with delicious and healthy ingredients. The Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels provide a hearty and flavorful base, while the vegan cheddar cheese and bacon add a savory and smoky flavor. The sliced tomatoes bring a fresh and juicy element, while the Indian Black Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt and black pepper add a touch of spice.. The real star of this sandwich, however, is the chickpea egg scramble. Made with chickpea flour, turmeric, nutritional yeast, and baking powder, this scramble is a protein-packed and flavorful vegan alternative to traditional eggs. It's cooked with diced white and green onions for added flavor and texture!
Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels
The Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels are the perfect addition to this vegan breakfast bagel sandwich recipe! These delicious bagels are made with wholesome ingredients like whole grains and seeds, and are gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan-friendly. The "everything" seasoning blend, which includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and sea salt, adds a burst of flavor to every bite. With a crispy exterior and soft and chewy interior, these bagels are the ideal base for any breakfast sandwich. Plus, they are free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, making them a healthy and delicious choice for anyone who loves great-tasting bread!
Vegan Cheddar Cheese
Made from plant-based ingredients, such as nuts, soy, or vegetable oils, vegan cheddar cheese has a creamy texture and a rich and savory flavor that is perfect for adding to sandwiches, burgers, and salads. Unlike dairy cheese, vegan cheddar cheese is free from lactose and cholesterol, making it a great option for people with dietary restrictions or those who are trying to reduce their intake of animal products. It melts perfectly on Little Northern Bakehouse Everything Bagels, making it an essential ingredient for creating the perfect Vegan Breakfast Bagel Sandwich (and my Vegan Cheddar Broccoli Bake recipe!)
Vegan Bacon
Vegan bacon is a tasty and cruelty-free alternative to traditional bacon, making it a great addition to any plant-based meal. Made from a variety of plant-based ingredients such as soy, wheat, or coconut, vegan bacon can provide the same smoky and savory taste as traditional bacon without any of the negative impacts on animals or the environment. It's perfect for adding to sandwiches, salads, or as a tasty breakfast side. Plus, with its many variations and flavors, vegan bacon can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter their dietary preferences.
Indian Black Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt
Indian Black Salt, also called Kala Namak, adds a unique sulfuric flavor to vegan dishes like this breakfast bagel sandwich. It has a pinkish-grey color and tastes slightly pungent and eggy. Himalayan Pink Salt, harvested from ancient salt mines in the Himalayas, has a lovely pink hue and a milder flavor compared to table salt.
I use them in recipes like my Vegan Elote Corn Fritter Burger. Both salts may offer some health benefits due to their natural state and trace minerals like calcium and potassium. However, remember that all salt, including these, should be consumed in moderation as excessive intake can lead to health issues like high blood pressure. Enjoy them as part of a balanced diet!
Chickpea Flour
Chickpea flour is a versatile and nutritious ingredient that is made from ground chickpeas, this flour is a great source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients. It has a slightly nutty and earthy flavor that pairs well with many spices and seasonings, making it a great alternative to traditional wheat flour. In this recipe, chickpea flour is used to make a fluffy and protein-packed chickpea egg scramble that is both flavorful and satisfying.
It is high in protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium. Compared to wheat flour, chickpea flour is lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein, making it a great option for those who are looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake and increase their protein intake. Additionally, chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance!
