This bagel BLT is less of a “recipe” and more of a reminder that you probably already have everything you need to make something really good.
Toast everything bagels until golden, cook the bacon until crisp, and layer it all up with fresh tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and a big handful of crunchy endive or lettuce. A generous spread of mayo on both sides brings it together. It’s simple, a little messy, and exactly the kind of thing you don’t need instructions for, but I’ll leave them here anyway in case the photos already convinced you to go make it.

Instructions
Toast the Bagel: Begin by toasting your bagel until golden brown.
Cook the Bacon: In a frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy and fully cooked.
Assemble: Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on both the top and bottom halves of the toasted bagel. Layer on slices of tomato, red onion, bacon, and curled endive. Close your bagel sandwich and enjoy!
Never keep your tomatoes in the fridge!! That takes all the flavour out of them. Keep them on the counter, stem side down, ideally by a window ledge for ultimate flavour.
