While the bagel is toasting, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium cream cheese with a pinch of black pepper.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread an even layer of the seasoned cream cheese on each half of the bagel.
Distribute the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the cream cheese on both halves of the bagel.
Wash and gently pat dry the fresh basil leaves. Place them on top of the sun-dried tomatoes.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the basil leaves for added flavor.
Serve the bagel immediately, enjoying the combination of creamy, savory, and herby flavors.
