Walnut Creek Foods Everything Bagels
What it is
These are classic, chewy bagels generously coated with a savory blend of seeds and spices. The topping typically includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse salt. This combination creates a distinctive flavor profile that is both aromatic and satisfying. They are baked to a perfect texture, offering a delightful bite that is firm on the outside and soft within. They are a popular choice for breakfast and lunch.
How people cook with it
Everything bagels are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple toppings to more elaborate preparations.
- Toasted with cream cheese
- As a sandwich base
- With smoked salmon
- Dipped in soup
To best enjoy the texture and flavor, these bagels are often sliced in half and toasted. Toasting brings out the nutty notes of the seeds and warms the bagel to its ideal chewiness. They serve as an excellent foundation for a wide array of toppings. Consider spreading them with cream cheese, butter, or avocado. For a more substantial meal, they make a great base for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings like deli meats, cheeses, or even scrambled eggs. They can also be enjoyed simply warmed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain bagels, the 'everything' seasoning provides a complex flavor profile with a mix of savory, salty, and slightly pungent notes from the garlic and onion. The variety of seeds also adds a textural contrast and a richer, nuttier taste that is distinct from bagels with fewer or no toppings.
Who it is for
People looking for a flavorful and satisfying bread option for their meals.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any uneaten bagels in an airtight container or a resealable bag at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen individually wrapped and then thawed or toasted directly from the freezer.
