My husband introduced me to this open-faced sandwich shortly after we got married, and it quickly became an all-time favorite. It's good made with plain or onion bagels. Have fun experimenting with various toppings and dressings, too.

8 tomato slices
8 cooked bacon strips
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Ranch salad dressing

Directions

Place bagel halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Top each half with two tomato slices and two bacon strips. Sprinkle with cheese.
Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese begins to brown. Serve with ranch dressing.

I like this recipe, but as a suggestion try placing bagle and tomato under the broiler for 2 min. and then place bacon and cheese on to continue broiling. A slightly toasted tomato has a very nice, sweeter taste.
