Hannaford Unsliced Everything Bagels
What it is
These are soft, chewy bagels baked with a generous topping of everything seasoning. The seasoning typically includes a blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. Because they are unsliced, you have the flexibility to cut them to your desired thickness. This allows for a more personalized bagel experience, whether you prefer a thin slice for a lighter bite or a thicker cut for a heartier sandwich.
How people cook with it
Bagels are a versatile breakfast and snack item. They can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple toppings to elaborate sandwiches.
- Toasted with cream cheese
- As a sandwich base
- Served with butter
- Dipped in soup
To enjoy these bagels, you can toast them to your preference. A toaster or oven works well. Once toasted, they are ready for your favorite toppings. Cream cheese is a classic choice, but butter, jam, or even avocado can be spread on them. For a more substantial meal, slice them horizontally and use them as the base for sandwiches, filling them with eggs, cheese, deli meats, or vegetables. They can also be warmed slightly and served alongside meals.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-sliced bagels, these unsliced versions offer greater control over the thickness of each half. This means you can tailor the bagel to your specific needs, whether you want a thinner base for a lighter meal or a thicker one to hold more fillings. The 'everything' seasoning provides a savory and complex flavor profile.
Who it is for
Anyone who enjoys a flavorful and customizable bagel will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bagels fresh, store them in a cool, dry place. An airtight bag or container is ideal to prevent them from drying out. If you plan to store them for more than a few days, consider freezing them. They can be frozen individually wrapped and then thawed at room temperature or reheated from frozen.
