Storage
Make Ahead Tips:
- If you’re preparing the sandwich ahead of time, it’s best to keep the components separate and assemble just before eating.
- Store sliced veggies, hummus, and bagels separately to prevent sogginess.
Refrigeration:
- Once assembled, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day for the best freshness and texture.
- If using avocado, drizzle it with lemon juice to prevent browning before assembling.
Top Tips for Making the Best Hummus Bagel Sandwich
- Lightly toast the bagel halves until they’re golden and crispy. This adds a nice crunch and prevents the bagel from becoming soggy when layered with hummus and veggies.
- Allow the bagel cool for a minute after toasting before spreading the hummus. This prevents the hummus from melting and keeps the texture smooth and creamy.
- Use fresh, crisp veggies to balance the creamy hummus and soft bagel. Sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and avocado work wonderfully for a vibrant, colorful presentation.
- Add greens first to create a barrier between the hummus and juicy veggies like tomatoes to prevent sogginess.
- Hummus bagels are best enjoyed fresh to maintain their texture and flavor. If making ahead, wrap tightly to keep the bagel from drying out.
