Tips For Preparing Delicious Bagels

One choice that is always great when you are looking for a snack in the middle of the morning, or during a relaxing afternoon at home, is a bagel, but as wonderful as bagels are, there are many people who fail to get as much out of their bagels as they should, because they limit their thinking when it comes to preparing bagels.

Of course, the standard bagel preparation simply calls for a bit of butter or cream cheese lathered onto a freshly toasted bagel – but not only is this an unhealthy way for you to enjoy your bagels, but it might also be one of the less delicious ways also!

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on two pieces of bread is a perfectly adequate sandwich, but most people never think about making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich using a bagel; with a sesame seed bagel or an everything bagel, you will have a nice compliment of flavor to your peanut butter and jelly – and in fact, peanut butter and/or jelly alone tastes great on these bagels as well!

When you are packing the lunch that you will be taking with you to work (or on more pleasant days, that you will be taking with you on a picnic), a bagel is also a great base; simply prepare your sandwich the way you normally would, but use a bagel instead of using regular bread!

And of course, it is tough to beat a breakfast sandwich that uses a bagel as the base; toast your bagel until it is nice and crisp, then add a fried egg with some cheese (and even with a bit of meat – such as sausage or ham), and you will have a delicious breakfast sandwich to start your day rolling in the right direction!

When you begin to get a little more creative with your bagels, you will be able to truly get the most out of them – as they will go from being a food that is simply “good” to being something you are able to truly love!
