SCHOOL LUNCH BAGEL SANDWICH
This sandwich mixes the goodness of bagels with the crunch of dill pickles. I came up with this sandwich for my son who loves bagels and cream cheese but I felt his favorite needed something extra to really make it a lunch. This is kid-tested good, and you can alter the veggies according to what your child likes.

BAGEL, CREAM CHEESE AND TUNA SANDWICH.
I just love this sandwich! I got the recipe from a book called 'take a tin of tuna' by Joie Warner. If I don't have bagels, I just make it with regular whole wheat bread.

TOWER OF BAGEL SANDWICHES
At Eli Zabar's E.A.T. in New York, the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich is taken to the next level, literally. The bagel is sliced into four neat slivers that each receive a smear of cream cheese and a slice of salmon before being stacked on top of one another.

This is a favourite with my sister-in-law, although the tomato was my addition. I actually prefer cold tuna salad sandwiches, but this makes a nice change from that.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an ungreased baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, onion, pepper, mayo and worcestershire; taste and add salt and/or pepper if you wish.
- In the toaster, toast bagel halves; place all 4 on baking sheet.
- On a bagel half, place one slice tomato, then one-quarter of tuna mixture, then 1 slice cheese; repeat with other bagel halves.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
- If you wish, quickly broil to brown melted cheese.
- Note: if you like tuna melts real cheesy, use one slice of swiss AND one slice of mozzarella!
Tips:
- Choose the right bagel: Opt for a fresh, high-quality bagel that is slightly chewy and has a good crust. Avoid bagels that are too dense or dry.
- Use high-quality cream cheese: Look for cream cheese that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture. Avoid cream cheese that contains artificial flavors or preservatives.
- Use canned tuna that is packed in water: This will help to reduce the amount of fat and calories in your sandwich. You can also use fresh tuna that has been cooked and flaked.
- Add your favorite vegetables: Chopped celery, onions, and tomatoes are classic additions to a tuna salad sandwich. You can also add other vegetables that you enjoy, such as cucumbers, shredded carrots, or bell peppers.
- Season your tuna salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings, such as dill, garlic powder, or paprika, to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of mayonnaise for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
A bagel with cream cheese and tuna is a classic sandwich that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple tips, you can make a tuna salad sandwich that is packed with flavor and nutrition. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give this recipe a try!
