Open Face Bagel Melt Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bake until the bread is crispy and the mayonnaise is starting to bubble up and turn a light golden brown, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the ketchup, mustard, 3 tablespoons of the honey, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper (10 to 15 grinds) together in a medium bowl until smooth.
