What's For Lunch: Bagel Sandwich Piled High with CSA Veggies

It has been a while since I've had a good bagel sandwich. I was really excited when I heard Spread Bagelry was opening up nearby. Unfortunately, a fire just days after their opening in May led them to close down for quite some time. However, rumor has it that they are finally going to open back up later this week. Until then, I decided I ought to take the matter into my own hands and throw together a bagel sandwich of my own.

This morning at Whole Foods I picked up a veggie bagel made locally at South Street Philly Bagels, Inc. I toasted it, added a schmear of whipped cream cheese, and filled it with several slices of green/red peppers, tomatoes, and red onion, all from our CSA box. Fun fact: did you know that some green peppers are really just immature red peppers? I know that now after watching the green peppers I got in last week's CSA box turn into red peppers on my kitchen countertop!

The end result? A delicious and filling bagel sandwich -- just what I was going for.
