They are a good choice for those seeking a more substantial bread option.

To best enjoy these bagels, slice them in half horizontally. Toasting them brings out their full flavor and creates a delightful crispness. You can toast them in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a toaster oven until they reach your desired level of golden brown. They are excellent when topped with a variety of spreads like butter, jam, or avocado. For a more complete meal, use them as the foundation for breakfast sandwiches with eggs and cheese, or lunch sandwiches with deli meats and vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain bagels, multigrain bagels incorporate a variety of grains like wheat, oats, and barley. This blend contributes to a denser texture and a more complex, earthy flavor. The presence of multiple grains also gives them a distinct visual appearance with visible flecks of different seeds and grains throughout.
