Turkey breast bagel

The dense, chewy texture of a bagel is the perfect foundation for a substantial sandwich. It doesn't get soggy from the cream cheese and holds the rich filling securely. This turkey version is a classic 'lunch sandwich', where toasting provides that extra texture which highlights the crunch of fresh vegetables.

Instructions

1

Cut the bagels in half and toast the cut sides in a frying pan or toaster until golden brown.

Tip: Toasting seals the pores so it doesn't get soggy from the cream so quickly.
2

Spread thickly with cream cheese on both sides.

Tip: The cheese also acts as 'glue'.
3

Layer the lettuce, ham, and sliced tomato. Close the bagel.

Tip: Fold the ham loosely, don't lay it flat, so it looks more appetising and airy.

How does the salad stay fresh?
Only put it in just before eating, otherwise it will wilt from the warm bagel and salt.
