Great! But....
A tasty guilt-free meal. My only addition would be to toast the bread, broil the bread with the cream cheese,veggies and mushroom, and then broil with cheese. This prevents the "hot on top cold in the middle sandwich". :)

quick and great
It worked great for dinner with soup. We replaced the cream cheese with light laughing cow spreadable cheese. It only has 35 calories and we only used half a serving for each bagel.

delicious!
This recipe is my new staple for lunch. I can run home, stick it in the toaster, and have a delicious, healthy lunch that is the envy of the office.

Really Good and Fast
I like this kind of recipe because you can start the process of making the bagel immediately and then you can work on the toppings while the bagel is toasting. I was surprised at how good it was, and I felt really good eating it. :) The swiss cheese made this awesome. I didn't even have tomatoes this time, because I was afraid of the whole tomato-salmonella thing going on right now, so I can't wait to try this again WITH tomatoes.
