Trader Joe’s Cheesy Bagels are hearth-baked Bagels with a plain bagel base, delightfully doughy on the inside. On the outside, they boast a cheesy, chewy crust that comes from shredded Asiago cheese that’s been pre-melted on top.

Take one of these pre-sliced Bagels, drop it into your toaster, and wait for the ding. Actually, you’ll know it’s almost done when you begin to smell the alluring aroma of Asiago as it heats up. Since they already have a “topping,” a little TJ’s Cultured Salted Butter is enough to make this Bagel ready to enjoy. However, we think our Cheesy Bagels are also particularly delicious when paired with TJ’s Chive & Onion Cream Cheese, or topped with a fried egg and a few drops of Habenero Hot Sauce.
