French toast has been a breakfast favorite for centuries. But when you want to change it up, use bagels instead of bread!
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 plain bagels
fruit-flavored cream cheese, optional
maple syrup, optional
powdered sugar, optional
Preheat a griddle or wide skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
Slice the bagels in half. Place each half in the egg mixture and let them soak for 4-5 minutes. Remove the bagels and let any excess egg mixture drip off. Place the bagels on the preheated griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Serve the bagel french toast with fruit-flavored cream cheese, maple syrup, or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I'm not a fan of French toast (cooking up wet bread? Ick!), but my husband loves it and always asks for it. I thought the firmer bagels might not be as gross soaking wet, and was right. As for the taste, he thought they were a great stand-in for bread and so did I. I'll make these again.

Simple and tasty! I liked the texture of the bagels as French toast. The cream cheese also went well spread on top but you could use other toppings that go with French toast like maple or fruit syrup.

I didn't think the bagels would be a good texture for french toast but letting them soak they did get nice and soft. I liked the cinnamon flavor with them so next time I'll use cinnamon raisin bagels.
