What it is
These are soft, chewy bagels infused with the savory flavor of onions. They are baked to a golden brown and have a satisfyingly dense texture. The onion pieces are distributed throughout the dough, offering a consistent taste in every bite. They are a popular choice for breakfast and lunch.
How people cook with it
Bagels are a versatile bread product that can be enjoyed in many ways. They are often toasted and served with spreads or used as the base for sandwiches.
- Toasted with cream cheese

To best enjoy these onion bagels, slice them in half horizontally. For a warm and slightly crisp texture, toast them in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. They are excellent served plain, with a generous spread of butter, cream cheese, or your favorite savory topping. They also make a sturdy and flavorful foundation for a variety of sandwich fillings, from deli meats and cheeses to egg salad or avocado.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain bagels, these have a distinct savory onion flavor. They are typically made with a yeast-leavened dough that is boiled before baking, creating their characteristic chewy interior and crisp crust. The addition of onions adds a layer of aromatic depth not found in unflavored varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks and anyone who enjoys a flavorful bread product will appreciate these bagels.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bagels fresh, store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight bag or container. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are completely cooled before freezing. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
