To best enjoy these bagels, slice them in half horizontally. Toasting them brings out their aroma and creates a delightful crispness on the outside while keeping the inside soft. They are excellent when topped with a variety of spreads like cream cheese, butter, or fruit preserves. For a more substantial meal, they can be used as the base for breakfast sandwiches or even lunch sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings.
