Bagel & English Muffin Serving Suggestions
Try these easy ideas for serving Nature’s Own Bagels and English Muffins as appetizers or snacks, on salads and alongside soups. They’re especially great when you have a few extra on hand to use.
  Garlic-Herb Bagel Crisps
      Split Nature’s Own 100% Whole Wheat or Everything Bagels in half. Cut each half crosswise, then cut each quarter lengthwise forming 8 thin pieces. Combine extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic and minced fresh herbs. Brush over 1 side of bagel pieces. Place in single layer on foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Bake in 400°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until brown and crisp; cool. Serve with soups or top with your favorite creamy appetizer spread.  
  Easy Bruschetta
      Split Nature’s Own 100% Whole Wheat or 100 Calorie Multigrain English Muffins; cut each half into 2 pieces. Brush with olive oil; broil until toasted. Top with chopped, seeded plum tomatoes, a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve as appetizers.  
  Quick Fruit Butters
      Beat 1 stick unsalted butter, softened, with 1/2 cup fruit preserves and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Spread over toasted Nature’s Own Bagels and English Muffins. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.  
  Cheesy Bacon Muffin Toasts
      Top toasted Nature’s Own English Muffin halves with shredded Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Broil until cheese melts. Cut in half. Serve with soup or as appetizers.  
  Super Easy Garlic Bread
      Broil Nature’s Own English Muffin or Bagel halves until toasted. Peel garlic cloves and cut in half lengthwise. Rub cut side of garlic over hot surfaces of toast. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.  
  Parmesan Bagel Croutons
      Cut Nature’s Own Bagel halves into 1-inch pieces; place on foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper; toss again. Spread out in single layer. Bake in 325°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until crisp and browned, stirring after 10 minutes. Cool.
