What are Breakfast Bagel Sandwiches?
Breakfast bagel sandwiches are a great meal prep item because you can easily wrap them in parchment paper and put them in the freezer. If doing this I would suggest keeping the fresh vegetables like tomatoes and avocado off of it because they can get a bit slimy.
All you have to do then is take it out and warm it up in your favorite air fryer or microwave!
