Beautiful bagels

At JJ Food Service we love food and we love it even more when our staff and suppliers want to share their favourite recipes!

In January, we will be stocking bagels from New York Bakery – including a new cheese-topped variery. To get the menu ideas flowing, Marketing Manager Philippa Norton has offered us her top three bagel recipes below:

5. Spread the bagel with the harissa ketchup, top with the eggs and crispy bacon; place the lid on top to serve.

Turkey, Brie and Cranberry

Serves: 1

Serve: Cold, closed

Ingredients

1. 12g cranberry sauce (½ tbsp)

2. 1 plain bagel (115g), sliced in half

3. 25g brie, sliced

4. 5g rocket leaves, washed stalks removed

5. 30g roast turkey slices, torn into pieces

6. 1 twist freshly ground black pepper

Spread most of the cranberry sauce onto the bottom of the bagel; follow with brie, rocket leaves then turkey.

Dot with remaining cranberry sauce, black pepper and finish with the bagel top.

Tip – lightly toast the bagel and add 6g precooked smoked streaky bacon, broken into pieces (2 rashers) and 2 medium fresh finely chopped fresh sage leaves to make the ultimate Christmas bagel! For a vegetarian option remove the turkey and bacon.
