But sometimes when i dont wanna eat something warm i'll just eat it right out of the package

Answer 6

If the slots on your toaster are wide enough, put them in the toaster. Let them brown like your toast, and then spread either butter or cream cheese on it. If the slots on your toaster aren't wide enough, you can brown them in the oven.

You can eat them just as they are or heat them or toast them, grill them.  Put cream cheese on them, make a pizza bagel, cheddar cheese is good on the cinnamon raisin ones, apple butter, whatever.  Use for a sandwich.  Some are better than others, I like the water bagels the best!

Answer 19

Bagels are quite nice when warmed up.  The outside should be a bit tough or chewy and the inside should be fairly soft and chewy.  It has something to do with the way they're cooked.  I like to make fried egg sandwiches with them, sort of my take on McMuffins from McDonalds.

Slice a bagel in half (onion works best for this, though plains's good, too)

Toast the halves lightly

Fry one egg (I hate runny eggs, so I make mine fried hard.  If you prefer sunny side up, then go for it.  Makes for messy eating, though.)

Fry a slice of lunch meat, SPAM, balogna, canadian bacon (or whatever meat you like)

You can dress the bagel halves if you like - butter, ketchup, mayo, whatever.  I usually just go plain.

Layer the egg on the bottom slice of bagel, then the meat.  Top with a slice of cheese and the other half of the bagel.

Answer 20

The ONLY place to buy a bagel is in NYC.  Then and only then can you appreciate a bagel either with cream cheese or butter! YUM!

Answer 21

Um.. they like them because they are good.

You can eat them how they are.. or microcwave them... or toast them.

You can put anything you want on them... cream cheese, butter, jelly, peanut butter, deli meat, egg, bacon, ham, cheese.. I could go on and on.... It a bread, do whatever you want with it.

Answer 22

Any way you would eat toast or bread. You don't have to toast them just like you don't have to toast bread but I like it that way. It is just another bread. I like to cut them in half and toast them and then put butter or jelly or cream cheese or peanut butter on them. Peanut butter on one half and jelly on the other or cream cheese & jelly is good too. Or you can eat it plain or make sandwiches with them just like bread or toast-I like ham and cheese or tuna salad, my hubby like lox. You can eat 1 half at a time or put them together. They come in different flavors like plain, egg, poppy seed, onion, garlic, blueberry, cinnamon & raisin, everything (my favorite for sandwiches) and many other flavors. You can microwave or heat them in an oven too.

Answer 23

heated is best, but if they are still warm from the oven, that's actually the best heating, possible.

Smear a little cream cheese and then lay some nova lox on them, close up, and make a sandwich.

If you want to dress that up, bemuda onions, tomatoes, capers, all go well, too.

toast, smear a little butter or margarine, your choice of cheese, stick it back into the toaster oven for about three minutes until the cheese melts, eat open faced.

smear a little hummus (any flavor that mixes with the flavor of the bagel) make back into a sandwich or eat open faced, your choice.

some people actually like peanut butter and jelly, or even meat sandwiches, but trust me...that's sacrilege!

but no matter what, you combine with a nice cup of coffee, and you're in heaven!

Personally, I like pumpernickel best.
