Roast Beef, Blue Cheese and Caramelised Onion Bagels

"Adapted from a recipe in the pre-Christmas issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea' which contained several recipes which make good use of Christmas day leftovers. This recipe could, of course, be made at any time of year when you have left over roast beef. At other times, you could always buy sliced roast beef at your local deli. You can either halve your bagels and toast the halves, or simply warm them in the oven. Whichever you prefer. :) And if you know you like lots of mayonnaise or dressing on burgers or bagels, consider increasing the quantities of the cheese and the mayonnaise. The other recipes posted from this collection are Recipe #344949, Recipe #345416 and Recipe #345446."

directions

  • Making the Caramelised Onions: Heat the oil in a large, preferably non-stick, pan; add the onions (and garlic if you are including garlic) and cook, stirring, over a low to medium heat, until they have softened; add the brown sugar and continue stirring until the sugar has dissolved; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove from the heat and stir the shredded beef in with the onions (and garlic); and cover to keep warm.
  • Cut the rind from the cheese, coarsely chop the cheese; place in a blender, add the mayonnaise and blend until smooth; add the salt and pepper.
  • Using a serrated edge knife, halve the bagels, place them on an oven tray and grill them on each side until they are toasted.
  • Assembling the Bagels: Spread the cheese mixture over the cut sides of the bagels and to the bottom half of the bagels add the lettuce or baby spinach leaves, the tomato slices (and a sprinkling of salt, pepper and basil if using) and the beef and onions, finishing with the top of the bagel. If you have any of the cheese mixture left, add it on top of the beef and onions before placing the bagel top back in place.

  1. Very yummy lunch today. I made this on english muffins because I was out of bagels. It turned out great. Followed the recipe exactly except for the english muffin. My husband really enjoyed these and has asked to have them again soon. Thanks blue.
     
  2. A wonderful lunch. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I used baby spinach, deli roast beef, and gorgonzola cheese. I mashed my cheese & mayo with a fork instead of using the blender. I decided I wanted a bit more to spread around, so I added a couple of TB of softened cream cheese, too. It was all delicious and I only regret that my fresh basil is gone for the season; next time I try this I hope to top with fresh basil! (I made a chiffonade of some spinach to sprinkle on top and pretend it was basil, but it just wasn't the same). Even my kids liked this so we were all happy.
     
  3. This was a real treat for lunch today.Instead of bagels (you can't get a decent one here!) I used my recipe #348192#348192,and lightly toasted them.Instead of whizzing my cheese in the processor,I put it into the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it,and then mashed it and mixed it with the mayo (less washing up!). The whole thing was just delicious..soft sweet onions,the richness of the Stilton all married together with the beef so beautifully. Another triumph BlueMoon..many thanks. Made for 1-2-3 Hits.
     
  4. A very pleasing taste to one's palate, with the fresh spinach, the freshness of a bagel, the slight tang of blue cheese, and the smoothness of the caramelized onion. Very tasty indeed. I took heed from Lainey and warmed my bagel (in the toaster) and piled the meat with the spinach, fresh grape tomatoes, and goodness. Very easy to prepare, and just as easy to eat. Thank you bluemoon Made for *123 Hit Wonders* January 2009.
     
  5. Delicious! These are so good. My DH just loved them. He is a big fan of blue cheese and this sandwich really hit the spot for him. I warmed the bagels in the oven. I used deli roast beef. The butter lettuce is a nice addition. Thanks for sharing!
