How to Make Bacon Tomato Bagel Melts

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Slice 2 bagels in half and arrange the cut sides up on a baking sheet.
  3. Top each bagel half with 2 slices of tomato (about 1/4 inch thick) and 2 strips of cooked bacon.
  4. Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over each bagel half.
  5. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. (Adjust broiling time based on your broiler's intensity).
  6. Serve immediately with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
