For the Love of Bagels

My family LOVES bagels. We eat them plain with cream cheese, toasted for sandwiches, or as mini-pizzas with melted cheese on top. We haven’t met a bagel we didn’t like. 😉

My biggest concern with bagels is the number of carbs and calories in each one. Most bagels are huge! That’s one reason I really like the Thomas’ÂŽ Bagel ThinsÂŽ Bagels. They’re only 110 calories with WAY fewer carbs than a regular bagel. But of course, we couldn’t just try them in our usual style. Instead, we decided to mix things up a bit and make a breakfast creation… Bagel Thins French Toast.

Bagel Thins French Toast

Ingredients:

4 Thomas’ Plain Bagel Thins Bagels, split
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk (We used almond milk to make ours dairy-free.)
1 tsp. vanilla
oil for the pan
ground cinnamon
maple syrup

Directions:

  1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow bowl until well combined.
  2. Soak bagels in the mixture, turning them occasionally for 8-10 minutes. You want them softened but not falling apart.
  3. Heat oil in a 12-inch, heavy skillet or griddle over medium high heat.
  4. Place 4 soaked bagels in the skillet. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  5. Cook until golden brown on both sides, sprinkling the second side after turning.
  6. Serve with syrup.

My family gobbled these up! Now I’m excited to check out all of the other yummy recipes on the Thomas’ Bagel site.
