Jordan’s Favorite Tomato Bagels

bagelsOur middle daughter Jordan has got a crazy love for tomatoes. Her top three favorite foods are ham subs with extra tomatoes, these delicious bagels and sliced tomatoes in oil and vinegar. Once when we were visiting friends she saw a new carton of grape tomatoes, and very politely asked if she could have one. Said friend replied, “Sure have as many as you like”. As the adults got to visiting (and not paying attention), she ate the whole carton. If I buy tomatoes at the store for a specific recipe I have to hide them. I guess it could be worse, at least it is something healthy. I found this recipe year;s ago on the Kraft site, and have been making it about once a month ever since. I have been making it so long I never measure the ingredients any more just throw everything in a bowl and stir, but for you here is the original recipe.

  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheesetomato mixture
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayo or miracle whip
  • 1 tsp each minced garlic and oregano
  • 2 whole grain bagels, split and toasted.

1. Mix all ingredients (except bagels) in bowl.

2. Spread on toasted bagels.

3. Broil for about 3 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Watch so they don’t burn.

4. That’s it! Eat and Enjoy!

Tips- Substitute whatever bagels and cheese you have on hand.

The Great Canadian Bagel- Calgary

tunaI used to frequent the Great Canadian Bagel quite often. That was when they had locations way down in Suburbia where I live. It has been years since those locations have been closed, hence years that I have been. I love their sandwiches as I am a huge bagel fan, and it was always fun picking what kind of Bagel to compliment the sandwich of choice. Well, we finally made our way down to 4th street, I know this is “central Calgary” but still far from where I live. It was a lovely lite afternoon lunch, perfect for after church.

I had the roasted tomato rosemary soup which was lovely and the cheddar, swiss bagel toasted with butter. It could have been a bit cheesier, but still pretty good. Both our girls enjoyed their chocolate chip bagels with strawberry cream cheese, and the boys had the sandwiches. One ham, and one tuna.
