As a proud Montrealer, Bagel is one of our favorite bread products! Tasty, crunchy or soft! Perfect for breakfast, dinner, appetizer or just plain! I usually get it from the bakery where I eat at least one fresh hot one as soon as I get in the car! It’s a guilty pleasure. They’re just so amazing fresh from the oven!
There are so many delicious easy healthy recipes to enjoy your bagel! How do I eat my bagel? Take a look at a few of my favorite ways!
Delicious Easy Healthy Recipes for Bagels
Bagel with Cream Cheese
This is probably the most popular way to eat a bagel! It’s so easy and quick, you can make it on your way out the door. Even better, while it’s amazing toasted, it’s just as good without toasting. The great thing about cream cheese is that it comes in so many flavors now. Craving fruity? Go with the a strawberry swirl on a plain bagel. Want something savory? How about chives on an onion bagel?
Bagel with Butter
Maybe you don’t like cream cheese. Perhaps you are really in a rush and don’t want to take the time for that extra step. How about a bagel with just butter? This tastes best if you toast it first, so the butter can really melt into the bread! Like cream cheese, you can also mix things up a bit with butter. You could even get a Butters of the World Assortment
Bagel with Eggs
This is such a fun and easy recipe for kids!
- In a frying pan, add some butter
- Put bagel in the pan
- In each bagel, cook 2 eggs
Voila! Add some fruit and you have a delicious healthy breakfast! Kids love it for breakfast on Saturday! It is nutritious and cute! If you’d like, you can even add a little cheese to the egg for extra taste.
Bagel with cream cheese, salmon and lettuce
This one is perfect for lunch boxes!
- Spread cream cheese on bagel
- Add a slice of smoked salmon.
- Add lettuce leaves.
