I’m not really a sandwich person. They are typically boring and the textures are just…mush. But I’ve been on a bagel kick lately (I like this kind) and it’s amazing how the bread can make or break a sandwich. Don’t you agree?
You know what else makes or breaks a sandwich? Condiments. Problem is, I’m not a mayo or a mustard person. I like condiments like hummus, pesto or something equally delicious. Favorite condiment of late? Nutritional yeast (NY). Let me show you.
(Side note: If you are new to nutritional yeast, I talk about it more on this post. Long story short, it has a cheesy flavor and it’s a good source of protein and b-vitamins.)
Anyway, back to the bagel sandwich. So, take a bagel, toast it, top with some raw spinach, and sprinkle some NY on top. (Doesn’t everyone store N.Y. in old sorbet containers?)
Next up, a fresh-out-of-the-pan poke & spread egg, then more NY.
Then some tomato slices and salt and pepper. 
Then – you guessed it – more nutritional yeast.
Toss the bagel lid on there and you’ve got yourself a nutritionally packed powerhouse.
(Once it was assembled, I tossed it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to help the nutritional yeast soak into the layers a bit so it wasn’t too dusty.)
Even Maizey was stunned that I was eating and enjoying a sandwich.
Do you like mustard?
What’s your favorite non-traditional condiment?

atThis is a great idea. I lived off of pitas with one egg and sprouts but always melted provolone on it. I just wish there was a good way to transport egg sandwiches to work… I’m guessing a few hours in the fridge would not be too delicious.
Also, mayo creeps me out. Eggs and vinegar? Just seems wrong.

atI hate mayo and mustard too! I like hummus and mashed avocado as my condiments 🙂
Cate
atI love mustard, and I’m also completely obsessed with chili garlic sauce (especially mixed with tahini)
Annette
atI love spicy mustard, hummus, spices, and laughing cow cheese 🙂
Ally
atI love mustard! Plain ol’ yellow mustard. But I do agree, hummus and pesto do make a better “spread” options for sandwiches. I love this new way to eat NY!

atMaizy is so cute. Sandwiches are also not my favorite. i’ve only heard good things about nutritional yeast. I want to try some on popcorn.

Ashley
atLook at you…noochin’ it up 😉

atEgg Sammies are on a whole different level right? Yum! I adore mustard, when I was little I use to just eat mustard by the spoonful. And now I just discovered Cranberry Honey Mustard and I think I need to break out my spoon once again.
Lee
atI like mustard but only the boring yellow kind. I don’t like spicy or dijon. I think my favorite condiment is hummus. Is hummus a condiment?
Katie
atMmm, I have such a thing for bagel sandwiches. Not so much sandwiches on bread, but I adore them on bagels. Yours looks like something I would love!
I also love mustard and mayonnaise, but favorite non-traditional condiment is probably a roasted red pepper spread that they have at my favorite sandwich place in Boulder, CO. I also like cream cheese on my veggie sandwiches. (Great, now I’m hungry for a sandwich at 7:30 in the morning. ;-))

atMustard is my favorite condiment!!!
Stephanie @ The Cookie Battle
atI never met a condiment I didn’t like. I actually love different kinds of mustard (I have about 6 different kinds in my fridge right now) but I really love things like pesto and hummus too.
Kristi
atI love all kind of mustards. I usually stick with pretty basic condiments. I guess my favorite are baconnaise and garlic powder 🙂
Emily
atI used to hate mustard – but now I like it…zesty/spicy mustard rocks.
And I love love love using pesto or hummus as a condiment. But I use way more hummus than is allowed if you’re going to call it a condiment. My favorite hummus these days is TJs white bean and basil – tastes just like pesto!
Clare @ Fitting It All In
atI LOVE mustard, but also love nutritional yeast. I’ve made that exact sandwich but on toast…it looks delicious on a bagel!
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles
atWhat a remarkable idea. I will have to try NY on a sandwich…I love it on popcorn. Also, it’s good on a green salad, no?
Michelle
atBoth yellow mustard and mayo gross me out, too. I like dijon mustard for salad dressings, but that’s about it.
I’m a big fan of Mediterranean-type condiments for sandwiches: hummus, olive spreads, red pepper spreads, pestos. We also go through a lot of Sriracha hot sauce in my house.
giordin
atI have an irrational hatred and fear of mustard. Yuck.
I love your blog though 🙂 And I love your pup…I think you’ve started me on a boxer obsession. I’ve been thinking about adopting one to keep my lab pup company!

atNooch is totally under-utilized in my house–I just forget that I have it! Thanks for the reminder.

atWe love nutritional yeast over here ; )
Erika @ FoodFitnessFun
atI love mustard, but nutritional yeast not so much. I love Tabasco Coarse Ground mustard – my favorite! 🙂
Amber from Girl with the Red Hair
atI ordered a sandwich with “mayo-pesto” on it the other day and it was AMAZING! I like to add hummus or tzatiki or something like that to my sandwichs too 🙂
dana @ my little celebration
atOh yes. I do like mustard. Mustard of all types: spicy, honey, traditional, stone ground, etc. They’re all so good and a favorite addition to my sandwiches.
My fave non-traditional condiment would probably Parmesan cheese. I put it on almost everything, even sandwiches and Mexican dishes. I can’t get enough of the stuff!
