Sobeys Recipe Corner: Five bagel sandwiches kids (and you) will love

If you’re wondering what you can put on a New York–style slow-fermented bagel that your kids will devour, we’ve got five bagel-sandwich ideas that are perfect for any time a craving strikes. From sweet options to tasty twists on classics, we’ve got a bagel with your kid’s name on it!

The Choco-PB&B Bagel

Open faced plain bagel topped with peanut butter, sliced bananas and chocolate shavings on a bright yellow plate.

Toasted plain New York–style bagel + peanut butter + sliced bananas + chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

A twist on the Elvis classic (he loved peanut butter and bananas together), this version goes all in with a smattering of chocolate chips (we suggest dark chocolate if your kids enjoy them). The chocolate will get slightly melted once it’s topped with a hot, just-toasted bagel slice. Watch them wash it down with a glass of cold milk!

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bagel

Cinnamon swirled bagel topped with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, strawberry and banana slices and a drizzle of honey on a pale blue plate.

Cinnamon New York–style bagel + Greek yogurt mixed with cream cheese + drizzle of honey + sliced bananas + sliced strawberries

All the flavours of your favourite smoothie, with the added bonus of a cinnamon-swirled New York–style bagel. We suggest you serve these open-faced.

OG Tuna Melt Bagel

Multigrain bagel topped with a tuna salad, melted cheese and apple slices on a bright yellow plate.

Multigrain New York-style bagel + tuna + mayonnaise + Compliments Medium Cheddar Cheese Slices+ sliced pear or sliced apple

Who doesn’t love a gooey sink-your-teeth-into-it tuna melt? This one’s served on a multigrain bagel, topped with tuna and cheese, then broiled in the toaster oven for a few minutes until bubbly. You’ll want to top with crisp apple or pear slices—for both a textural contrast as well as a hit of sweetness against the savoury cheddar and tuna. Balanced perfection in every bite.

Chicken Finger & Pickle Bagelwich

Chicken finger and pickle topped sesame bagel on a rectangular yellow plate.

Sesame New York–style bagel + Compliments Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Strips + pickle-flavoured chips + shredded lettuce + Compliments Plant-Based Ranch Dressing or your favourite BBQ sauce mixed with mayo

Take chicken fingers to new bagel-worthy heights with this kid-friendly sandwich. Juicy chicken strips, crunchy pickle-flavoured chips, crisp lettuce, and a creamy topper on a sesame seed bagel. What could be better?

BBQ Chicken Pizza Bagel

Bbq chicken pizza over a cheese bagel on a light blue plate next to a bowl of BBQ sauce.

Cheese New York–style bagel + chopped rotisserie chicken + your favourite Compliments BBQ Sauce+ Compliments Cheddar and Part-Skim Mozzarella Shredded Cheese Blend

A classic pizza bagel gets an updated twist, using a cheese bagel, rotisserie chicken from last night’s dinner tossed with your favourite BBQ sauce and topped with shredded cheese. Serve open-faced and broil to melt the cheese until golden-brown and bubbly.
