What is an egg bagel?

An egg bagel is a type of bagel that is made with egg added to the dough, resulting in a richer, denser texture and a slightly sweeter flavor compared to a traditional plain bagel. The addition of egg also gives the bagel a slightly yellow color.

Egg bagels can be enjoyed toasted or untoasted, plain or with various toppings such as cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado, or bacon and eggs. They are often used as a base for breakfast sandwiches or as a side to eggs or other breakfast dishes.

In terms of nutrition, egg bagels are typically higher in protein compared to plain bagels due to the added egg. However, they are also higher in calories and fat, so it is important to enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
