Get out of your sandwich rut with these inspired twists on brunch classics. They're the perfect way to jumpstart your weekend (or any morning, really).

1. Bacon, Egg & Cream Cheese
Make this deli classic at home: Toast your bagels, spread on liberal amounts of cream cheese, crisp up some bacon, and add eggs cooked however you like.

2. Avocado Toast with Caraway Seeds
Our version of avo toast features caraway seeds for a bit of extra flavor that really pops: Mash the avocado, spread on toasted bread, then plop a runny egg on top. Toast caraway seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, then sprinkle them on top of your toast with a pinch of sea salt.

3. Smoked Salmon on a Bagel
We love making this classic bagel sandwich with New York's own Utopia bagels, which are local, made by hand, chewy, and so, so good. Schmear 'em with cream cheese, then fill 'em with savory favorites like smoked salmon, sliced fresh tomatoes, capers, and onions.

4. Ham & Gruyère on a Baguette
This decadent sandwich is a cafe classic that, like many French things, is effortlessly sophisticated: start by layering ham on the bottom half of a crunchy baguette and top it with thick slices of Gruyère. Spread plenty of butter on the top half of the bread (it really ties all the flavors together).
