12 Bagel recipes worthy of sharing

My name is Vicki and I’m a bagel addict. I will put most combinations in/on them and there’s almost always a bag in my freezer.

Recently I was sent a new launch from New York Bagel Co; their Bagel Sandwich Thins. They’re everything you get with a normal bagel, just a little lighter. The challenge was for me to try something different in my #BagelADay so here I am, sharing the blog posts that inspired me to load those bagels up. There are six recipes to try when the bagels are fresh and wonderful, then six to transform the stale leftovers in to something special.

Feast your eyes:

1. Prosciutto, pear& gorgonzola
2. Scrambled eggs, smoked trout & horseradish
3. Banh mi
4. Goats cheese, strawberry & balsamic
5. Grilled cheese breakfast
6. Bourbon & beet cured lox

Have you ever seen bagels look that good? Amy’s bourbon & beet cured lox has been hanging out on my ‘must make’ list for a while now. As soon as the beetroot that we planted are ready, I will make it.

If you’ve tried any of the combinations above, I’d love to know if they were hit or miss with you.

And then the left over bagels…

Don’t worry, they can be saved with these stale bagel recipes:

1. Pizza bagels
2. Spinach & cheese bagel strata
3. Berry french toast bagels
4. Sausage breakfast strata
5. Chocolate chip bread pudding with custard
6. Bagel chips

This weekend, whilst watching Celebrity Master Chef, Matt told me that he’s never had bread pudding before. Ever. I thought it was the type of thing everyone’s Nanna has fed them at some point or failing that he’d have had it from the school canteen. A retro classic. Since he dropped that bomb shell on me, I’ve been trying to conjure the best bread pudding recipe to introduce him. Did you know you can make it with stale bagels? Well now you do.

The bagel thins are available in Sainsbury’s and Asda stores so far, if you try some, I’d love to know what you think.
