Crunchy little bites with creamy tuna salad, melty cheese, sweet juicy tomato and all the good flavors of Everything Bagel seasoning. So simple to make, but such an absolute delight for the senses! You’ll fall in love at first bite …
Let me introduce you to my newest late summer obsession. Since the fresh garden tomatoes started rolling in, I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve made these for lunch/dinner/late-night/heck-why-not-for-breakfast snacks (er, meals?) … and every single time I taste them, I’m newly bedazzled. The nice crispy crunch of the Triscuit, the creamy goodness of the tuna salad, the umami of the melty cheese, all topped with a sweet juicy tomato slice and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, these little bites totally stole the show of all my fresh-garden dishes this harvest season.
Every bite is pure pleasure. Creamy, crunchy, sweet and juicy, salty, flavorful … I find myself again and again wondering: just oh my gosh how can something this simple be so amazingly good?
To be fair, most of the orgasmic goodness stems from the juicy fresh-garden tomatoes. It’s really hard to beat the flavor of a fresh, ripe, juicy garden tomato. I know people that eat them over the sink plain or just on a piece of toast with a simple schmear of mayo.
But I have to say, I think I’ve definitely elevated the simple tomato sandwich … these simple little bites are total eye candy, plus oh yes, good flavors but I think where they really excel is the textures, because where in a tomato sandwich do you get that satisfying CRUNCH? plus creamy and juicy? To say I’ve fallen in love with them is a total understatement. It’s become a bit like Groundhog’s Day, on endless repeat, except I never want it to end! I want to treasure every … last … single … sweet … juicy .. tomato on a triscuit with tuna, melty cheese and everything bagel seasoning.
Realistically I know it’s coming to an end soon and I want to treasure every moment until the end. And then I’ll probably be sad. I can already sense it coming. But life is change. Fresh tomatoes will come again. There are autumn joys awaiting us.
These are the words I’m whispering to myself as I begin to say goodbye to my favorite food obsession of the summer. Who knows how much longer I will have fresh garden tomatoes? They could be gone tomorrow … or it might be a month or longer before I have to say goodbye. Till then, I shall cherish my pretty little bites. And all things BOTH summer and autumn. Because life is meant to be savored, and savor it I shall!
