Breakfast Bagel, Featuring Tomato and Garden Cream Cheese

I got this recipe while working for a coffee shop called Tuscany Cafe in Littleton, CO. This was my favorite way to start the day (yes, this is better than coffee, in my mind!) This is absolutely packed with flavor!

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• For Cream Cheese

• 8  ounces cream cheese
• 3  cherry tomatoes, seeded and chopped fine
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  garlic salt
• 2  tablespoons  grated cucumbers
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  minced red onion
• 2  sesame seed bagels
• 1  medium  ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Fold cream cheese ingedients together.
2. You can also toss all the ingredients into a food processor, but I like a chunkier cream cheese.
3. Slice bagels in half, lengthwise.
4. Toast.
5. Spread generously with cream cheese and top with tomato slices.
6. I like to make sure every square centimeter is covered with tomato.
7. Sprinkle with a little salt and a good amount of pepper; eat while still warm.
