Ingredients- 1 Bagel
- 100g Ricotta cheese
- 1/3 Tomato
- 4-5 leaves Butterhead lettuce
- 50g Sliced sandwich ham
- 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Whole grain mustard
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take your bagel and carefully slice it in half horizontally with a sharp knife. This preparation makes it easy to fill the sandwich.
Step 2
Place the halved bagel, cut-side up, into a toaster and toast until golden brown. If you don’t have a toaster, you can lightly butter a skillet, place the bagel halves cut-side down, and toast over medium-low heat until golden and slightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside.
Step 3
Wash the fresh tomato thoroughly, remove the stem, and slice it thinly into rounds, about 3mm thick. Slicing them not too thick will help prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Step 4
Prepare your sandwich ham slices. Gently wash the butterhead lettuce leaves under cool running water. After washing, thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure no excess moisture remains, which keeps your sandwich from getting soggy.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of whole grain mustard. Mix them together to create a delicious spread. The tangy pop of the whole grain mustard complements the creaminess of the mayonnaise perfectly.
Step 6
Generously spread the prepared mayonnaise and mustard mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the toasted bagel halves using a spoon or knife. A good coating of the spread adds a wonderful layer of flavor.
Step 7
On one of the spread-covered bagel halves, arrange the dried butterhead lettuce leaves neatly. Then, carefully place the sliced tomatoes on top of the lettuce.
Step 8
Using a spoon, generously dollop the ricotta cheese over the tomatoes. Don’t be shy with the ricotta; a good amount makes the sandwich rich and creamy. Finally, layer the sandwich ham slices over the ricotta cheese.
Step 9
Gently place the other spread-covered bagel half on top of the ham to complete your sandwich.
Step 10
To make it easier to eat, carefully cut the assembled sandwich in half. The vibrant layers revealed inside will look appetizing.
Step 11
Serve your beautifully crafted ricotta cheese bagel sandwich on a plate. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee, a glass of milk, or some fresh juice for a delightful brunch experience right at home, no need to visit a cafe!
