Bagel and Cream Cheese—Whole-Grain Bagels are Coming Soon!

Cooks' Note

This tasty breakfast combination is not a high-glycemic one, so you can enjoy it often with a clear conscience. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge a little ahead of time and toast or at least warm the bagel. Room temperature cream cheese spread on a warm bagel is much more flavorful than cold cream cheese atop a cold bagel.
