Breakfast Bagel, Featuring Tomato and Garden Cream Cheese

Submitted by Annie H

"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!"

1. Fold cream cheese ingedients together.

I did this without the onions and cucumbers, but it was very tasty and filling, thank you! :)

A quick, easy, delicious breakfast .... or lunch! I used Philadelphia Light Garden Vegetable spreadable cream cheese, seedless English cuc & grape tomatoes. I served on whole wheat bagel and, as you can see by the fotos, I open-face with the tomato slices cut in half. I recommend using regular cream cheese as the consistency was too soft & it kept squishing off the bagel. Thanx Annie!
