Vegan Everything Bagel WAFFLES with Carrot “Lox”
When Well+Good asked me to create a healthy recipe for their readers using Everything Bagel Seasoning, the first thing that came to mind mind was WAFFLES! Don’t ask me why, but I instantly knew I had to try the savory seasoning on crispy, fresh waffles.
Let me tell you, the combination was absolute perfection. Topped with a schmear of vegan cream cheese, carrot “lox”, onion slices, capers and fresh dill, the combination immediately brought me back to the many, many hours I spent in Jewish delis with my grandparents. It was pure, delicious nostalgia on a waffle! And everything tastes better on a waffle, right?
Let’s chat about the ingredients for a second. If you haven’t tried my carrot lox, you’re in for a treat! I used plain Kite Hill vegan cream cheese, but I’m also a huge fan of their chive flavor. If you don’t have access to a Trader Joe’s for the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and don’t want to wait for Amazon to deliver it, here’s a super simple DIY recipe I found.
One last thing before we get to brunch! I’m so thrilled that so many of you have preordered my cookbook and gotten your bonus Holiday Season ebook!! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for supporting The Colorful Kitchen! If you haven’t gotten yours yet, click here.
