In honor of our very first newsletter, we wanted to give you something special and personal from us. (Everything else will be from college students, we swear!) Huddled in our new little apartment in New York, we deliberated over this first post, waited endlessly for our pots and pans to arrive, and ultimately decided that our new NYC life could only be captured in one way: through epic bagel breakfast sandwiches. They had to be mini, of course, because we couldn’t fit regular-sized bagels in our teeny apartment. Kidding, but not really.

The Desayunito was inspired by Sarah’s Texas roots and her unusually strong love for hot salsa, black beans and cheesy eggs. The Mini Bagelstein reminds us of the instant gratification of breaking the Yom Kippur fast with a bagel piled high with fixings. And Mackenzie just started to like lox, so she wanted to eat them again. Finally, the Richard Simmons slider is our paradoxical attempt to eat fresh, healthy food. Egg whites, tomatoes and spinach are still healthy in between two bagel halves, right?
We hope you enjoy these breakfast bagel sliders as much as we did, and officially, welcome to the new and improved Spoon.
