Alex loves bagels. Only savory, though. He'll down an everything bagel or an onion bagel with butter, cream cheese and lox in seconds, but if you offer him a blueberry or cinnamon bagel, he won't even touch it. He's been wanting to have bagels for his breakfast before he goes to work, and I just keep deciding not to buy him any, poor guy. Today, after doing a bit of grocery shopping and finishing up some things around the apartment, I decided I'd make him some homemade bagels. We didn't really have any cream cheese he'd like - only some neufatel cheese in the freezer - but I figured he'd overlook that seeing as the bagels were fresh.
I mixed some dried minced onion and garlic into the dough so the flavors would be baked in, and he thawed out the cream cheese and mixed some spices into it to make it how he wanted. Once I had them all baked up, we packed all but one of them into an airtight container and split it so we could try it. Alex was upset about the cream cheese; he thought the texture was off too much, but I thought it was perfectly fine, of course. The bagels were fantastic - so much flavor packed into them!
