Brunch Bagel Burger | Hamburger with Lox, Red Onion and Cream Cheese on Toasted Bagel "Thins"

SOME OF MY RECIPE IDEAS could only be born out of the desperate irrationality of an extreme hangover. That may explain why after not being able to decide if I wanted a bagel with lox and cream cheese or a Texas Burger (topped with fried over easy egg) for a breakfast, after spotting a bag of something called Bagel Thins—by Thomas' (the English muffin maker)—I felt it was fortuitous that I decide to combine the two options into one hellacious idea of a meal.

So I toasted the bagel thins and smeared them with a little butter, then layered, between the top and bottom, a healthy smear of cream cheese, some sliced red onion, some slices of Nova Scotia lox, and a medium-temperatured burger, topping the whole thing with a fried egg dusted with paprika and pepper.

The "therapy" in eating a sandwich like this is usually in theory alone. And in hindsight, I'm surprised I didn't even think to throw some bacon on that bad boy. Regardless, that bad boy of a sandwich was quite good, with the caveat that my palate's acumen might have very well been compromised by my hangover. I've probably enjoyed a 12-hour old, room temperature slice of pizza during a hangover.

But at least this morning's brunch bagel burger looked wonderful as well...!

Bun Apple Tea!
