Ingredients
- 1 sesame bagel, halved horizontally
- 2 (1 inch/2.5 cm) thick slices very ripe tomato (heirloom or other meaty varietal)
- coarse sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese
- extra-virgin olive oil, with fruity or herbaceous notes (e.g., Sicilian, Ligurian or California variety)
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Toast the bagel to your desired doneness.
- On a cutting board, season the tomatoes with coarse salt, edge to edge, so the salt is visible, and black pepper.
- Divide the cream cheese evenly between the bagel halves and spread thickly. Place a tomato slice on each half. Drizzle some olive oil all over the bagel, so it is dripping off of it. Sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top. Enjoy immediately.
