- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 leaf lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 pinch salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the bagel in half horizontally.
Spread butter thinly on the cut sides of the bagel.
Place the bagel halves on a baking sheet, buttered-side-up, and toast in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the bagel is toasting, spread cream cheese evenly on one side of each bagel half.
Layer the ham slices on the bottom half of the bagel.
Top the ham with the slice of cheddar cheese.
Once the bagel halves are toasted, remove them from the oven and assemble the sandwich by placing the lettuce leaf and tomato slices over the cheese.

Close the bagel with the top half and gently press down.
Cut the bagel in half if desired and serve warm.
