Bagel Thin Pesto Sandwiches- so easy to make with no cooking required. They are also so versatile! Eat them for breakfast, lunch or just a snack.
The inspiration for this Bagel Pesto Sandwich came from last time we were in Hawaii, when we went to a coffee shop in Kauai called Java Kai. They had the BEST coffee and these amazing hummus/pesto bagel sandwiches.
That’s what inspired this less-carb version of these simple, yet satisfying sandwiches. I love that they work well for breakfast, lunch or just as a snack.
How to make these Bagel Pesto Sandwiches:
Using a food processor, add the pine nuts and chop until fine. Add the rest of the pesto ingredients and blend until combined and smooth. If you don’t have a food processor, a mortar and pestle bowl also works well (although a little more work). I suggest this one.
Toast the bagel thins in a toaster. On each half, add 1 tablespoon of hummus, followed by 2 tablespoons pesto. Top with tomato, roasted red pepper, or arugula and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
This recipe makes 4 bagel halves (or 2 full bagels). They are best served immediately when the bagels are still warm. I’m thinking the pesto/hummus would be equally amazing on English muffins. Yum…
