Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter, plus more as needed
- 4 thick slices seeded wheat or country white bread
- Everything Bagel Seasoning, for sprinkling, recipe follows
- 2 ounces mozzarella, thinly shaved or sliced
- 4 slices tomato, cut into half-moons
- 4 thin slices red onion, cut into half-moons
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Mix together the cream cheese and scallions until well combined.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices and toast until lightly browned on one side; remove to a cutting board, toasted-side up (the toasted sides will become the insides of your sandwich). Spread all four slices with scallion cream cheese, then sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning. Top two of the slices with mozzarella, sliced tomato and red onion. Press the capers into the cream cheese on the other two slices. Form sandwiches.
- Add a bit more butter to the skillet if it seems dry. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cover with a lid and cook until toasted on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook, covered, until toasted on the reverse side and the mozzarella is melted, about another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, cut in half and serve.
- Mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt.

Reviews
Absolutely awesome! The blend of flavors gave it such a great taste. Made it exactly according to the recipe and just used wheat sandwich bread we had on hand. My husband gave this a 10+ rating. I think it would have been greater than a 10+ with rye or pumpernickel. We both loved the sandwich! Thanks Molly!
I love bagels and grilled cheese, combining the two is genius. I will definitely be making this again!
This deserves 20 stars. So easy and delicious. I used a nice rye bread and my husband gobbled it down. I don’t care for capers and he doesn’t like onions so those were left out. All I heard during dinner was, “These are great!! When are we having them again?” This recipe was a winner in our house!!
So easy and so delicious. We used a hearty potato and onion loaf of bread, and it was awesome. Not to mention, the capers and red onions really made it!
This was super delicious! We used gluten free bread, and the flavors were great. I would definitely make it again
This was fantastic! Great, surprising flavor. My only tip- put the capers on top of or in the cream cheese spread so that they don’t roll off the sandwich.
Had a few friends over for football and made these for the first time and WOW – they are the perfect brunch item and were an absolute hit. I think this may turn into a weekend staple
Wow! YUM!! Enough said. Made just as instructed and wouldn’t change a thing. Truly delish.
Easy and yummy!
Molly, another winner!
I love bagels. When I saw you make this, I immediately got the recipe and it is so delicious.
Love all your shows.
They are all recorded and my husband likes your shows too.
