Whether you're into smoked salmon, lox, or gravlax, this open-faced salmon bagel sandwich will blow your mind. Topped with pickled red onions, scallions, capers, and dill, it's a flavor explosion in each bite. The bagel sandwich is an excellent option for lunch, and it's also impressive enough to complete a light summer dinner, especially when served with a simple garden-fresh side salad.

Each ingredient of the smoked salmon bagel recipe plays a crucial role in giving the finished sandwich a well-rounded and satisfying flavor. The toasted "everything" bagel with its seasoned toppings is a perfect foundation for the smoked salmon. Pickled red onions add an unexpected pop of color as well as a nice vinegary bite that lightens up the smokiness of the salmon. The capers give the sandwich a salty depth, the scallions add a pleasant mild oniony flavor, and the cream cheese spread brings it all together. Don't forget the squeeze of fresh lemon juice; it's the ultimate finishing touch.

How To Make Smashed Pickles
The real key to making such an array of flavors really work is to use the highest quality ingredients. The smallest upgrade in each element will make a world of difference, and you'll be rewarded with any extra effort that requires with the first bite. If you don't have salmon that is already smoked, you can smoke the fish on the stovetop. It's relatively quick and easy but does require at least a few hours to marinate.

The goodness doesn't have to stop there either. Add some bright red mullet roe or deep dark sturgeon caviar to the cream cheese to make this already mind-numbingly delicious sandwich even more opulent.

Ingredients
1 everything bagel
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 cup smoked salmon
1 tablespoon pickled red onions
1/2 teaspoon scallion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon capers
3 to 4 sprigs fresh dill
1 lemon wedge

Keto waffles are a grain-free and sugar-free alternative to everyone's favorite breakfast item. Traditional waffles are made with wheat flour and topped with syrup. These keto waffles are made with almond flour and whipped egg whites, which makes them light and crispy, just like a waffle should be. As with all keto recipes, be sure to read the label for all items before adding them, including the almond butter and nondairy milk (if using) to ensure they don't contain sweeteners, gluten, and other no-no ingredients.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon stevia
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup almond butter
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Jazz these waffles up however you see fit, adding extra flavorings into the batter or topping with a few berries or even a fried egg. They freeze well for a breakfast-on-the-go, too.

Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dish of eggs poached in a sauce with spices, served for breakfast, brunch, or even sometimes lunch. Although the most common version includes tomatoes and peppers in the sauce, vibrant green versions are also popular.

What constitutes green can be up to you, but spinach is the most common base. However, other hearty vegetables such as kale, Swiss chard, and broccoli rabe also work extremely well in this dish since the tough greens get the benefit of some simmering to soften them.

Once the base green sauce is cooked, you can poach the eggs entirely on the stovetop or cook them in the oven for a few minutes to set. Ideally, the finished eggs should have set whites and still runny eggs to mix into the sauce and vegetables. Use your favorite bread to dip into the mixture and spoon out the egg-covered greens.

Spices can vary, but are likely to include cumin and some form of heat such as red pepper flakes. Similar in style, Mexican huevos rancheros tend to have a very spicy sauce, whereas the Middle Eastern version can be mild or hot. But feel free to customize this dish with your favorite spices and greens for a great egg breakfast.
