Hey there, bagel lovers! There's nothing quite like a fresh Go Bagels bagel straight from the oven, but the real magic happens when you add the perfect spread or schmear. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast on the go or putting together a spread for friends, these savory ideas will make every bite more exciting. We're all about making your daily routine delicious, so let's dive into some practical, easy-to-make options that pair perfectly with our classic plain, everything, or sesame bagels. Stock up on a dozen from our online store or catering menu to try them all!
First up, the timeless classic: herb-infused cream cheese. Start with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, mix in a tablespoon each of chopped fresh dill, chives, and parsley, plus a pinch of garlic powder and salt. Whip it until fluffy, then slather it on a toasted Go Bagels plain bagel. It's fresh, garlicky, and ideal for a light lunch—add sliced cucumber or tomato for extra crunch. This schmear is versatile; make a big batch and use it as a dip for bagel chips too.
For something with a kick, try a roasted red pepper spread. Blend a jar of drained roasted red peppers with 4 ounces of goat cheese, a clove of garlic, a splash of olive oil, and a dash of smoked paprika. Process until smooth, and spread it generously on an everything bagel from Go Bagels. The smoky sweetness balances the savory seeds, making it perfect for a hearty snack. Pro tip: This pairs great with our catering platters for office meetings—your team will thank you!
If you're in the mood for protein-packed goodness, whip up a smoked salmon schmear. Combine 8 ounces of cream cheese with 4 ounces of chopped smoked salmon, a tablespoon of capers, lemon zest from one lemon, and fresh dill. Mix well and pile it high on a sesame bagel. It's luxurious yet simple, evoking deli vibes right at home. Order some of our fresh bagels online to keep your fridge stocked for effortless meals.
Don't forget about veggie-forward options like avocado mash with everything bagel seasoning. Mash a ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and a sprinkle of our everything seasoning (available in our e-comm shop). Spread it on a toasted bagel for a creamy, nutritious twist—top with radish slices or a poached egg for breakfast bliss.
These spreads are all about creativity and convenience, turning a simple Go Bagels bagel into something special. They're easy to prepare ahead, store in the fridge, and customize based on what you have on hand. Next time you're hosting or just treating yourself, remember that the right schmear can transform your day. What's your go-to savory spread?
