The Really Big List of Ways to Top Your Bagel

I am officially addicted to Udi’s Gluten Free bagels. This month, they have provided us with a sampling of all their products as we have adopted a gluten free diet for Autism Awareness Month. Oh my! Who knew that gluten free could be so delicious?!

The Mighty Bagel is definitely my favorite but the Everything Inside bagel and Plain bagels are equally yummy. I have been tweeting my love for Udi’s and even had a friend respond:

[We] love Udi’s Gluten Free bagels and we’re not even a ‘have to’ gluten free family!

I think trying new things this month has inspired me to get more creative with our food. So, I cannot just spread cream cheese on these delightful bagels. No! They deserve more.

If you are tired of putting the same old toppings on your Udi’s Gluten Free bagel each day, break out of your comfort zone and add more flavor with one of these ideas for breakfast, snack time, lunch, or even dinner.

Please note that some of these are 100% gluten free while others depend on the product you choose. If you have a medical condition that requires a gluten free diet, please check all labels before purchasing anything new.

Uniquely Topped Bagel Ideas

Caprese Bagel

Brush a Udi’s Gluten Free Everything Inside bagel with olive oil and toast. Mix together cream cheese with pressed garlic and dried basil. Spread on bagel. Top with a slice of tomato and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Garnish with additional dried basil. Broil until the cheese is melted.

 Banana Split Bagel

Toast a Udi’s Gluten Free Mighty bagel and top with vanilla or pineapple yogurt. Add sliced bananas.

Wilted Greens & Cheesy Eggs Bagel

Toast a Udi’s Gluten Free plain bagel. Meanwhile, saute spring greens and chopped tomatoes (seeds removed) in butter or olive oil. Scramble eggs and stir in sharp cheddar cheese. Top the bagel with cream cheese, sauteed greens and tomatoes, and scrambled eggs with cheddar.

Peanut Butter & Apple Bagel

Spread a bagel with peanut butter and top with thinly sliced apples. You could even drizzle with caramel or sprinkle with granola or mini chocolate chips. Tastes wonderful on a Udi’s Gluten Free Mighty bagel.

Salsa Eggs and Cheese Bagel

Spread a bagel with cream cheese and top with scrambled eggs, salsa, and cheddar. Works wonderfully on a plain or whole wheat bagel.
