Chomps Bagel Bar

Any good brunch in the spring/summer needs a good few options and with a bagel bar, you really can't go wrong. We took your favorite bagels and put a bit of a spin on them, including one highlighting Chomps Original Beef sticks. Yes, you read that right - Chomps in a bagel sandwich. We slice up our Chomps thinly, add them into an omelette, fold it up and toss it inside of a breakfast sandwich for a classic twist on a "bacon egg and cheese" bagel and trust us, it's delicious. We also created a simple avocado toast bagel (with a fried egg and tomato) and a smoked salmon, cucumber and caper bagel for those who want to keep things old school. Either way, there's something for everyone at this bagel bar. Ingredients: 3 Everything Gluten-Free bagels Chive cream cheese 1 avocado 4 eggs 4 oz spinach 2 Original Beef Chomps Everything but the Bagel Seasoning 1 beefsteak tomato 4oz smoked salmon 1 thinly sliced cucumber Capers Dill 1 red onion Microgreens Directions: You will make THREE different bagel options: Simple Avocado Toast and Egg Bagel Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Bagel “Bacon”, Egg and Cheese and Spinach Bagel Avocado Toast bagel: Toast your bagel and then add avocado, everything but the bagel season, tomato and one over easy egg. Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Bagel: Toast your bagel and add chive cream cheese, smoked salmon, thinly sliced cucumber, micro greens and dill and top with thinly sliced red onion (about 3-6 thin slices) and some capers. Chomps bagel: Whisk together 3 eggs with salt, pepper, and 1 finely sliced Original Beef Chomps and make a “Chomps omelette” in your pan as you would a normal omelette. Set aside. Prepare your bagel by slicing then adding avocado, spinach, your omelette and one slice of cheddar. Wrap bagel in aluminum foil and placing in a 400º oven or toaster oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese. Let cool, remove from oil and serve.

Beef Stroganoff Pasta

Ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 4 Italian Beef or Original Beef Chomps sticks 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 8oz cremini mushrooms 3 cloves of garlic, minced 2 tbsp flour 1⁄2 cup beef broth 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp chopped parsley 16oz brown rice noodles Cashew cream: 1⁄2 cup raw cashews soaked with 1⁄2 cup water + 2 tsp lemon juice Directions: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Slice up your Chomps beef sticks into thin slices and toss into a pan. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until they’re a little crisped up – about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the onion and another 1tbsp olive oil into pan and cook on medium heat until onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms until softened and then garlic for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Add the flour over the onion / mushroom mixture and stir to combine for about 2 minutes. Increase the heat a bit and add the beef broth for about 2 minutes. Next add in the Worcestershire sauce, mix and let simmer for 5 minutes. Soak your cashews for 30 minutes in boiling water and drain. Add 1/3 cup of water with the cashews into a blender, with lemon juice, and blend until a creamy sauce forms. Add back in the Chomps to the mushroom/onion mixture and cashew cream until everything is mixed together. Cook your favorite brown rice noodles (we love Trader Joe’s brown rice fusilli or Jovial brand pasta from Thrive Market) and place the beef mixture over the noodles. Top with parsley!

You will want to make at least 6-8 “mini pizzas” in the shape of hearts topped with your favorite pasta sauce, cheese and thinly sliced Chomps Italian beef.
