The ultimate study meal

So I have been working like a maniac for the last few weeks, cause I have crazy essay deadlines to make next week. I'm actually supposed to be working right now, but I thought I would take a sneaky break to write something other than 'the notion of nostalgia' hee hee. It's so depressing I swear.
Anyway I'm sure most of you students can probably relate to the fact that exam time = crap food and a LOT of eating out and takeaway.
Being a person who prefers to cook at home, this never appealed to me. But because of my tight schedule now, I can only afford to make quick little meals.
Thus I bring you...the bagel sandwich! It's quick, easy and oh so yummy! =) I got the idea when I visited my friend in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago, and she brought me to this adorable little bagel shop that did all sorts of awesome bagel concoctions. When I returned to London, Tesco's was having a buy one get one free on all their bagel bags! I took that as a sign haha. So hurry down to your nearest supermarket and pick up a bag!...or two! =)



Grilled red peppers, Brie and garlic ham bagel
Ingredients
  • 1/4 red pepper cut into slices
  • Brie cheese (or you could use mature cheddar, depending on what you like)
  • Butter

  • Garlic ham (you can use salami, pastrami etc.)
1. Lightly toast the red peppers in the oven for 10minutes with olive oil and a pinch of sugar
2. Butter your bagel, cover bottom bagel with cheese, layer with ham, remove peppers from the oven and layer peppers on top with another sprinkle of cheese.
3. Pop it in the oven to toast for 10minutes

Time to get back to work! =)


Funfact: Did you know that bagels are boiled?! I was so shocked when I found out!
