A New Way to Toast a Bagel

One of my favorite easy snacks are bagels with cream cheese. I decided to have a bagel one night over the weekend and I went to put it in the toaster and discovered that it wouldn't fit! This was a big problem because the only way I like bagels is toasted. I just moved in with some new people and the toaster belonged to one of my roommates so the most obvious solution was to get my own toaster that could do the job. But in the meantime if I wanted my bagel right then, I had to get creative. I decided to experiment and try heating the bagel in a frying pan. The end result was not as good, but the bagel was warm and a little crispy which was great for the time being.

Later, I decided to try another way to see if I could get better results. I cooked another bagel in the oven and it turned out great. It was much crispier and more like it had been toasted in a toaster. So, if you ever find yourself without a toaster, the oven is the way to go!
