Notes

  • Use whole wheat or everything bagels for added flavor.
  • Add chopped cooked bacon or rotisserie chicken for extra protein.
  • Stir in hot sauce or diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to lighten it up.
  • Freeze unbaked bagels and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
