This is the result of food boredom, laziness, and a willingness to try almost anything. Confusing isn’t it? Well, I didn’t want anything normal for dinner, not Subway, not any other fast food. I also was not in the mood for the supermarket deli items. So on today’s episode of kitchen roulette, I had the ingredients below and came up with something odd but tasty. So I added crab meat to a bruschetta and placed it on top of a pumpernickel everything bagel from Wierdoughs. I hope you like it.

1 pumpernickel everything bagel, halved (from Wierdoughs at the Haymarket Farmers Market)
8 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in quarters
4 ounces crab meat
4 ounces Italian 6 cheese blend
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

More cheese for topping.

Preheat oven on broil.

In a bowl add tomatoes, cheese, basil, garlic, crab meat, and onion powder.

Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Toast bagel under broiler for 3 minutes.

Add tomato and crab mixture to the bagel.

Top with cheese.

Broil until cheese is melted.

Serve.
