When it comes to bagels, the toppings and pairings can make all the difference. While a plain bagel is delicious on its own, adding toppings can take it to a whole new level of flavor. Classic bagel toppings include cream cheese, butter, and jam, but there are endless possibilities to explore. For a savory twist, try topping your bagel with smoked salmon, sliced avocado, or a fried egg. If you prefer a sweeter option, consider spreading Nutella, peanut butter, or honey on your bagel. And let's not forget about the delicious combinations you can create with bagel sandwiches - from the classic lox and cream cheese to turkey and cranberry sauce. The key is to experiment and find your favorite flavor combinations. So whether you're a traditionalist or an adventurous eater, there's a bagel topping or pairing out there for everyone.
