To enjoy these bagels, you can toast them to your desired level of crispness. A toaster or a toaster oven works well for this. Once toasted, they are ready to be topped with your favorite spreads like cream cheese, butter, or avocado. They also make an excellent base for breakfast sandwiches, holding eggs, cheese, and breakfast meats. For lunch, they can be used as a bun for deli meats, vegetables, and condiments, providing a substantial and filling meal option.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other bread products, bagels are boiled before they are baked. This process gives them their characteristic dense, chewy interior and a slightly crisp exterior when fresh. These plain bagels are a neutral canvas, allowing the flavors of toppings and fillings to stand out.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining 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 completely cooled before freezing. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
