1 hour ago, rotuts said:it goes without saying , that for appearance at least
the top bagel slice must be cut on its own , then placed on the Assembly
or the sandwich with smoosh-out
eating it will of course be smoosh-ey ,
probably a desired feature of the bagel sandwich
I prefer bagel items ' Open Faced '
that way , you get two items
thus double the fillings .
Bagels are too hard, IMO, for soft fillings that will smoosh... unless you take the controversial step of scooping out the bagels.
So sliced deli meat...yes.....tuna salad ...no.
I'd add that reubens are the perfect sandwich to demonstrate that you know what you are doing. Kraut needs to be drained and sauteed for a moment so as not to drown the sandwich. CB has to be sliced thin. Bread cannot be too thick (don't care that it is "house made") and cannot be too toasted so that it is hard to bite through.
