Bagel toast (Hebrew: בייגל טוסט, romanized: Beygel Tost) is a sandwich commonly eaten in Israel. It is composed of a pressed, toasted bagel filled with vegetables and cheese and is grilled on a sandwich toaster or panini press. While the bagel is round with a hole in the center, it is unlike the typical American bagel in that it is made from a different dough with sesame seeds. Bagel toast is generally filled with tzfatit, feta, gvina levana or galil cheese, green olives, corn, tomatoes, onions, dressing, and pizza or chili sauce.[1]

Bagel toast is typically found in cafes or coffee houses in Israel and is also served as a casual snack in the home. At the famous Abulafia Bakery, in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel, bagel toast is served with a side of za'atar, a mixture of sumac, sesame seeds and herbs.[2]
