Bagel toast

Bagel toast (Hebrew: בייגל טוסט)is a sandwich commonly eaten in Israel. It is composed of a pressed, toasted bagel filled with vegetables and cheese and is grilled on a sandwich toaster or panini press. While the bagel is round with a hole in the center, it is unlike the typical American bagel in that it is made from a different dough^{[citation needed]} with sesame seeds. Bagel toast is generally filled with feta, white, or yellow cheese, green olives, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, dressing, and pizza sauce, or a spicy sauce.^[1]

Bagel toast is typically found in cafes or coffee houses in Israel and is also served as a casual snack in the home. At the famous Abulafia Bakery, in Jaffa, Israel, for example, bagel toast is served with a side of za'atar, a mixture of sumac, sesame seeds, and herbs.^[2]
