Who would have thought that a boiled bread product, smothered with cream cheese and washed down with a cup of coffee, would taste so delicious in the morning? Well, someone did. And, I'm sure glad they thought of it. From plain to 'everything' bagels, and toppings like smoked salmon, jelly, or your favorite flavor of cream cheese, you can't go wrong. Unless, of course, you don't know where the closest bagel shop is. But, now, there's no excuse--they're all here.
