This sandwich is ideal when you want something fast but still flavorful. There’s no need to toast the bread, which keeps it soft and fresh, while the crispy bacon adds texture and richness. Cream cheese balances everything with a mild, creamy taste, and fresh tomatoes bring lightness and freshness. It’s simple, comforting, and perfect for busy mornings.

You can easily adapt this recipe using what you have on hand:

• Cream cheese → ricotta, soft cottage cheese, Philadelphia-style cheese
• Bacon → ham, turkey bacon, prosciutto, or plant-based bacon
• Fresh tomatoes → cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes
• Oregano & thyme → basil, Italian seasoning, or herbs de Provence
• White bread → whole wheat bread, sourdough, or ciabatta

• 4 slices fresh square bread
• 5–6 tbsp soft cream cheese (spreadable, sauce-like)
• 8–9 slices bacon
• 4 cherry fresh tomatoes
• Dried oregano, to taste
• Dried thyme, to taste

First, cook the bacon in a dry pan over medium heat until crispy. Transfer it to a paper towel to remove excess fat.

Spread the cream cheese generously over the fresh bread slices. Add the crispy bacon. Slice the tomato thinly and layer it on top of the bacon, then finish with a light sprinkle of dried oregano and thyme.

Serve immediately while the bacon is still warm and crunchy.

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. Pair them with coffee or tea for breakfast, or serve them as a quick savory snack during the day.
