To prepare, these mini bagels can be simply toasted in a toaster or toaster oven until they reach your desired level of crispness and warmth.

How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining mini bagels fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn. Thaw them at room temperature before heating.
