Bagel Sandwich

Description
A fresh, divine alternative to the original bagel, this extraordinary, toasty sandwich is packed with real cheese and tomatoes and maintains a crisp taste with the bagels. Basil sometimes works for this for garnishing, too.

Ingredients

 * 5 fresh bagels
 * 5 tomato slices
 * 5 cheese slices cheese (Cheddar, Colby, Parmesan, Provolone, or Swiss)
 * basil leaves, optional

Directions

 * 1) Cut each bagel in half and arrange tomatoes on one slice and cheese on the other.
 * 2) Place on the cooking sheet and broil in an oven until cheese is melted.
 * 3) Remove from the oven and put the bagel sandwich together. Serve hot and plain or with other side dishes or appetizers and garnish with the basil leaves, if desired.
