Bagels have been a favorite breakfast item since Dan and I got married.
Before I met him, I’d hardly ever had bagels; growing up in the Midwest, they just weren’t that big a deal…. until I went to school in upstate New York and had the opportunity to visit New York City.
Mmmm, bagels in NYC are the best.
Anyway, occasionally, I like a flavored spread for my bagels. But store bought spreads can be a bit pricey, which is why I like coming up with my own flavored bagel spreads.

Below you’ll find a printable recipe. This bagel spread is super easy to make and only involves 4 ingredients. Rock on, right?! Enjoy!
