4. Cream cheese, whipped

5. Raw onion

6. Capers

7. Chopped liver

8. Scrambled eggs

7. Cheddar cheese

If it's a fruity bagel (blueberry, raisin, you get the idea) I prefer a touch of butter.

If it's a plain bagel, then flavored cream cheese. Wegman's has a fantastic honey nut cream cheese, I am in love with it. Strawberry's good too. Not a fan of onion or garlic.

Oddly enough, I do love onion or garlic bagels. Actually, the "eveything" bagel is my fave, and I had a jalapeno bagel once that was great. On those, plain cream cheese.

In all cases, I only like a little bit. I hate when there are globs of anything on my bagel. That goes for any bread product, now that I think about it. I only smear a little bit of mayo, butter, cream cheese, whatever. I don't like it messy.

Some of my favorites:

(1) hummus with alfalfa sprouts

(2) peanut butter and bananas

(3) butter and blackberry jam with the seeds

Mmm, how about whipped cream cheese with strawberry jam on top. Its practically dessert.

Has anyone tried toast (preferably whole grain) with cheese whiz and strawberry jam? It sounds revolting but its actually incredibly delicious!

Cream cheese with strawberry jam. The best bagels I've had have been on Delta flights, much better than what I get at the store. strange.

Butter.

But bagels are way too carb laden.

Cinnamon raisin bagel with butter!

This Jew guy is appalled at your choices.

I hope at least you still prefer the boil cooking as opposed to straight up baked bagels.

There's a deli not too far from my house that's been there for 50+years. It's jewish owned, and it still has the best bagels I've ever had.
