Time 4h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 pounds plum tomatoes, quartered
3 ounces (1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon) olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Leaves from 3 sprigs fresh thyme
12 to 16 slices (about 1 pound) thick-cut bacon
4 bagels
Spicy Pepper Cream Cheese, recipe follows
1 large head red or green leaf lettuce, leaves separated
8 ounces cream cheese
1 small roasted poblano or green chile, drained and chopped (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 half-sheet trays with parchment paper.
  • Toss tomatoes with olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper and thyme leaves in a large bowl. Spread on a lined half-sheet tray and slow-roast, stirring every hour, until little to no liquid remains and the tomatoes are shriveled and caramelized, about 3 hours 30 minutes. Set aside and raise oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange bacon slices side-by-side on a lined half-sheet tray and cook to desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes for just under crispy. Carefully remove from oven (watch out for hot bacon fat!) and drain on paper towels.
  • Slice and toast bagels. Spread 2 tablespoons Spicy Pepper Cream Cheese on each bagel half. Arrange 6 to 8 pieces roasted tomatoes on the bottom halves. Top each with 3 leaves lettuce, torn to fit. Divide the bacon among the top halves, ripping the pieces in half to fit the tops. Close, slice and enjoy. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Whip cream cheese in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer until light, about 2 minutes. Add chopped peppers, salt and pepper flakes and mix on low to blend.

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Can I leave them out of this recipe?

I'm not sure about the spicy pepper cream cheese. I might try it with regular cream cheese instead.
