How people cook with it
These bagels are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple preparations to more elaborate sandwiches.
- Toasted with cream cheese
- As a base for breakfast sandwiches
- With butter and jam
- For deli-style sandwiches
To best enjoy Zeppy's Multigrain Bagels, slice them horizontally with a serrated knife. For a classic preparation, toast them until lightly golden brown. This enhances their texture and brings out the nutty flavors of the various grains. They are excellent served warm. They also make a sturdy base for lunch sandwiches, holding up well to a variety of fillings like deli meats, vegetables, and spreads.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain bagels, multigrain bagels offer a more complex flavor profile due to the inclusion of various seeds and grains like oats, wheat, and barley. This blend also provides a chewier texture and a more substantial feel. The different grains contribute a subtle nuttiness that plain bagels lack.
Who it is for
People who enjoy a heartier bread option for breakfast or lunch will appreciate these bagels.
How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining bagels fresh, store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a sealed bag or bread box. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Separate them with parchment paper before freezing to prevent sticking. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
