How to Throw the Ultimate Bagel Brunch

 

Bagels

 

Start with homemade bagels if you have the time! If not, no worries you can buy fresh bagels the same morning you plan on having your breakfast or brunch. Plan on 1 ½ per person.

Consider Mini Bagels

Make or buy a variety! A batch of plain is a must but I always include whole wheat, sesame, everything, onion, egg, cinnamon raisin, etc.

Keep a toaster handy for those who like a toasted bagel.
