Recipe ReDux Post # 71 Mini Bagel Bite Sandwich Skewers Three Ways
June’s Recipe ReDux challenge is “Sandwich Upgrade” and we
were encouraged to put a creative spin on sandwiches. I decided it was time to
bring Gabby in on this one since she is a sandwich lover and it has been awhile
since we made a recipe together. Bagels are one of her favorite things so we
decided to try a fun twist on sandwiches by using bagel slices for mini bite
size versions. The fillings were just different fixins that we had at home. We
came up with three yummy flavors that are great for lunch, snacks and cute
appetizers for a party or a picnic. Hopefully you will give these easy and
delicious bite size sandos a try, as well as all the other versions developed
by the the Recipe ReDux crew.
