Deli Bodega Style Bagel

If you want a soft yet crispy toasted bagel like the kind they sell at the expensive New York City delis try this.

Ingredients

2 bagels
Filling of choice, I like cream cheese

Cut good quality bagel in half.

Place on pan or aluminum foil and place in oven.

Set oven to 375, when oven is done preheating, check bagels.
If your bagels are not as toasty as you would like cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove from oven and spread with cream cheese, or whatever you love to eat between two pieces of bread.

Enjoy! Makes 2 bagels

**Alternative Cooking Method**

Place bagels in cold oven. Set oven to broil and check every 2 minutes until bagels are brown and toasty. Continue on as above with spreading the filling
