  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 5 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (260 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten, sesame

Ingredients

  • 100 g Sesame bagel (Jerusalem-style)
  • 15 g Tomato sauce (passata, for spreading)
  • 0.3 g Oregano, dried
  • 30 g Yellow cheese (gouda), grated
  • 20 g Bulgarian cheese (feta)
  • 50 g Tomato
  • 15 g Red onion
  • 20 g Sweetcorn, canned, drained
  • 10 g Black olives

Method

  1. Slice the bagel open horizontally into two halves. Israeli bagel toast is made with a large, flat, oval sesame bagel; a round one pressed thin works the same.
  2. Spread the cut sides with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano.
  3. Cover the bottom half with the grated yellow cheese, then the tomato slices, thin rings of red onion, sweetcorn and sliced olives, and crumble the white cheese over the top.
  4. Close with the top half and toast in a panini press or sandwich toaster for 4-5 minutes, until the bagel is crisp and striped and the cheese has melted. Without a press, toast it in a dry frying pan over medium heat with a heavy pan on top, 2-3 minutes a side.
  5. Cut it in half and serve hot, as Israeli cafés do for breakfast.
