I have a bagel for breakfast tomorrow and want something other than the usual boring butter or whatever...

go on, bagel inspiration please

Bacon and melted cheese

Peanut butter and jam (strawberry or raspberry). Even better if the bagel is cinnamon & raisin

Cream cheese and bacon

Nutella

Pastrami, grated cheese, mayo and a scrape of mustard. Maybe more a lunch bagel tho!

cream cheese and smoked salmon blended up <pure bliss> works well with tinned pilchards to, sounds gross but delish!

I like mine with cream cheese and crispy bacon.
DH likes cream cheese with cucumber.
At uni we used to make pizzas with them, tomato purée, grated cheese then grill. Also nice with cheese and chutney.

Smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers.

Cream cheese, crispy bacon and tomato

Cream cheese, smoked salmon and watercress

Peanut butter and strawberry jam

Boursin and crispy streaky bacon <drools>

I see Kidnap's lunch suggestion & raise it to include rocket leaves; also smoked cheese (Applewood, preferably) and chilli mayonnaise. Bagel of the Gods.

For breakfast: jam & peanut butter. Divine.

Cream cheese and bacon is an interesting suggestion... have never thought of that combination before! Mmm

Smoked salmon and cream cheese

bagels are a crime, they are dry and thick and yacky

Loads of different berries mixed into cream cheese.

Butter and Bovril.

Do Not Judge Me.

Extra strong mature cheddar and homemade chilli jam. Amazing.

Trinity I agree about a normal fresh bagel but a bagel toasted and warm is instantly amazingly delicious

I admit I have never tried it toasted

Cream cheese and smoked salmon every time!!

I don't eat bread and really miss a bagel!

Always toasted!

I love cream cheese & banana (ideally on a cinnamon raisin bagel)

Great suggestions, I only have cheese (cheddar or cream) with jam, preferably strawberry, to add. And yes, bagels must always be split and toasted unless they are warm and freshly baked from a Jewish bakery deli. On a similar vibe pitta bread must always be toasted too <gavel>

Soak it in beaten egg and fry...lovely eggy bread!

Defo toast it and then put a bit of butter and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and some sugar. Or cream cheese and bacon - yum

Mashed avocado, grilled tomatoes and crispy bacon.
IT'S.THE.TITS.
