15 Bagel With Butter Combinations

15 Bagel With Butter Combinations

What's not to love about a perfectly toasted bagel in the morning? A bagel with cream cheese has always been a popular way to eat a bagel, but we think a bagel with butter is even better (no bias here, promise). Are you wondering what the best butter for bagels is? We've got you covered. Here's a list of the best butter for bagels featuring Epicurean Butter to prove that a bagel with butter is better.

Do bagels taste good with butter?

The bottom line is, butter makes everything taste better. Really good butter adds an element of richness and indulgence to any meal and every kind of bread—from your morning French toast to a classic bagel. Once that butter starts to melt into a warm, toasted bagel, your taste buds are in for an absolute treat.

Bagel with butter vs. cream cheese

A bagel with cream cheese has always been a popular way to eat a bagel, but we think a bagel with butter is even better (no bias here, promise). Cream cheese is thick, creamy, and delicious, but it can tend to overpower the flavor and texture of a bagel. And after all, aren’t we choosing bagels because we like the taste and texture of them? Plus, we’d argue there are many more flavor combinations you can play with when you use butter.

Tips for toasting the perfect bagel

    1. If your bagel is dry, try keeping it whole and dipping it in water before toasting. Most bagels are boiled before they’re baked, so this replicates its original prep process.
    2. Don’t over-toast. A light brown toasting is best for holding and absorbing toppings and spreads.
    3. Slice your bagels if you’re toasting them in a toaster, but keep them whole if you are using a traditional or toaster oven.

 

Now you know why butter is better, what combinations to try, and exactly how to toast the perfect bagel. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and have a delicious and fast breakfast.
