egg bagels

I like egg bagels too. Both in taste and color. I prefer them for bagel sandwiches because they remind me of challah a bit, because they're both eggy breads.

Egg Bagels are very popular and are sold at practically every one of the literally hundreds of bagel shops in the NYC Metro area--

Why would the yellow color look "unnatural" when egg yolks are the same color?

Nyet to egg bagels.

Bagels are not challah and are not bread.

Challah is nice, bread is nice, bagels are nice.

Fried egg on bagel, no egg in bagel.

That's why these bagel shops have about 12 varieties....

ok, ok i guess i'm just weird!! the yellow color just doesn't do it for me. i think i have issues with eggs in things, like bagels and egg drop soup. i can't even talk about egg drop soup without shivering.

Egg bagels are okay. They aren't a crime like French Toast bagels or Sun-dried tomato bagels or Blueberry. Bagels aren't supposed to be SWEET.

Cinnamon raisin with plain cream cheese is pretty good, though....

Also, I must say that any bagel that tries to immitate a potato chip flavor is a bad idea (i.e. sour cream and onion).

I'm with you! Eggs in things gross me out. Bagels and eggs together as one is one big no!

Call me a criminal. I enjoy a good French Toast bagel but I eat it specifically as a dense, chewy and sweet alternative to a donut. Hardly any fat grams and satisfies my morning sweet tooth if I happen to have one on a particular day. That said.... they are bagels in name only and not worthy of a discussion as a bagel per se - only as a low fat alternative to a donut. I revel in my criminality.

What on earth is a French Toast bagel? I hope this means French Toast made with a bagel (maybe even an egg bagel, actually my Favorite bagel, so there!) and not something flavored to taste like french toast, which would in fact be truly unholy.

i can't deal with egg bagels. the bright yellow color look very un natural for a bagel. egg is something you put on top of a bagel, not in it. any others have thoughts?

I shan't offer you a piece of my rich, eggy french toast made with my (staled on purpose) Challah then. Your loss. :wink:

Why it's a bagel made up to impersonate French Toast!

They are far from the only ones, but those criminals at Au Bon Pain seem to serve them. I've occasionally seen them at my local bagel places, since I usally don't frequent Au Bon Pain. Also, it's exactly the kind of crap that Einstein Brothers serves, if I remember right.

Cinnamon raisin are acceptable, but the Panera-style, sugar-caked donut/bagel is not. Sweetened cream cheese is also not cool.

Panera bagels have another problem: they are NOT boiled, so they taste like a roll, not a bagel!! (Same with Dunkin Donuts bagels)

A few days ago one of my co-workers brought (what I thought was) bagels. There were blueberry, strawberry guava, and chocolate. YUCK! My comment was that there were Jews turning over in their graves world wide!
