Everything But The Bagel Grilled Cheese

Y’all. I now wake up in the middle of the night with ideas for food to feature on the blog. I write them down so I won’t forget because unfortunately, I’ve forgotten some.

::super sad face::

I jotted this one down at 3:27AM a few weeks ago and HAVE MERCY. I’m so glad this one didn’t slip away into the idea ether. I honestly don’t know if I can go back to eating bagels. What’s better than a toasted bagel with all the fixin’s? All the fixin’s on a grilled cheese.

I whipped up a little schmear of whipped cream cheese with green onions in it because those sad dehydrated chives in the storebought cream cheeses give me a serious case of the vapors.

I slapped that schmear on some three cheese bread along with some everything bagel seasoning and mozzarella and smeared the outside with a little butter. I cooked it on medium low until it died and went to crispy, melty, ooey-gooey heaven.

Now listen. I don’t think this millennium has given us anything quite so great as everything bagel seasoning. Spoiler alert: I use it on, well, everything. Eggs, chicken, steamed broccoli. You name it I’ve tried it. But this has been my favorite application. I used a ton of it because last I checked this is America and I do what I want.

I topped it with a metric sheesh ton of toppings and dove in head first. It’s so, so very good. Our son spent the night somewhere else last night so I whipped these up for me and the Mr. They were a success! Maybe not date food though. Your breath will be quite funky and you may burp from the cucumbers. Charming. They don’t call me The Messy Mrs for nothing. Do as I say and not as I do. Make them on a night it’s more acceptable to have funky breath, if such a night exists in your world. I’m sure your world is far more refined than mine.

Make them today. Tomorrow. Whenever. Forever.
