The Ultimate Vegan Bagel

This is my absolute favourite bagel filling combination. I just had it four days in a row for lunch, I’m so obsessed! You can also add hummus to this bagel for something extra, but it is also good as is.

Ingredients:

1 block tempeh, cut into slices

Vegan cream cheese

Tomato slices

Balsamic glaze

Basil

Salt & pepper

Bagels

Tempeh Marinade:

3 tbsp tamari

1 tsp maple syrup

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

A few drops of liquid smoke

Method:

Place tempeh slices in a container and add all marinade ingredients. Close the container and shake it until the marinade has spread throughout evenly. You can either place this in the fridge to marinate further or cook tempeh straight away.

Cut your bagels in half and toast. Spread cream cheese over both halves (or one half hummus, if using, and one half cream cheese). Top one half of the bagel with tomato, salt & pepper, balsamic glaze, the cooked tempeh and basil then place the two bagel halves together and enjoy.
