I t took me a long time to get around to trying this - looked too simple to be good, and I was sadly mistaken. I did wait until the tomatoes were in season which does make a difference. Anyway, with good bagels as a base it is excellent. Thanks.

Who knew something so simple, would be so delicious!! Instead of a roma tomato, I used my garden-grown beefsteak tomato...yum-my! The salt, pepper and basil make it just perfect. Also, used an "everything" bagel from Sam's Club. Made the perfect light dinner!!

I LOVE this recipe! It's so refreshing and light. Very healthy choice along side all the other holiday fare. The best tomato I've found is the "Campari" tomato. Yummy!!! I've found them at Publix next to the grape tomatoes. They're in a small plastic container too. Perfect tomato to go with this dish.

Update: Tried this with fresh basil and cherry tomatoes from our garden, it was good. Used homemade bagels from this site (Bread machine bagels). Original review: This is one of my favorite quick lunches from this site. I have not tried with fresh basil, I always use dried. I have even added basil, tomato, & cr. cheese into my Magic Bullet to make sandwich spread.

Yuuuummy! I added some spinach and a bit of sun dried tomato flavored tuna and it was that much more delicious.

This was an awesome simple recipe. I took them to church and adults really liked them. I still think fresh basil makes a big difference. So it is better to always use fresh ones. Thanks for the good recipe.

A wonderful exercise in simplicity. I used to eat these as a kid with slices of red onion added and it was amazing.

We loved this recipe! A co-worker is having a brunch wedding reception so we set up a taste testing in the office with 12 co-workers. They loved it. The ingredients are simple and portable. We used the mini bagels and added the basil spread and fresh basil leaves as well. Great flavor and presentation!

Yummy! My grocery store didn't have any fresh basil, so I had to use dried, but loved it anyway! Update 6/8/06: I made this for breakfast again this morning, and sprinkled a little balsamic vinegar over the top. Outstanding! Took this wonderful sandwich to a whole new level!

I used to eat this all the time in college and forgot all about it until I came across this recipe. When I saw beautiful plum tomatoes at the farmer's market, I knew today would be the day for this recipe. I substituted dried parsley for the basil (personal preference) and it was delicious. Also fantastic with scallion cream cheese, I seem to recall. Thanks for posting and letting me relive a bit of my youth!

This is really good. The key ingredient is the basil. I started using whole leaves because it made the flavor so delicious. I also used lite cream cheese, and added advocado on top. I used onion bagels and that was tasty too! A really good lunch or dinner.

Awesome! I added avocado to mine and thought I had died and gone to heaven - over a sandwich!! These were amazing! You can add anything basically to this sandwich to make it taste the way you'd like, but just plan and simple as the recipie says is the best.

This was delicious! The grocery store was out of fresh basil leaves, so I ended up buying some fresh basil spread which turned out to be a really good substitute. I think I will serve these on mini bagels at an upcoming brunch.
