Bagel French Toast
Bagels make a french toast that is extra satisfying - the custard soaks into all those nooks and crannies. Adding cinnamon whipped cream puts it over the top.

For the French Toast:
- 6 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Bagels, halved (just about any flavor will work, but plain or slightly sweet flavors are my preference)
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
For the Whipped Cream Cheese:
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
In a square baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Add the bagel halves and flip to coat both sides. Soak the bagels cut-side down in the egg mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Use a fork to transfer the bagels to the pan (discard egg mixture), and cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
While bagels are cooking, beat cream cheese, sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. (If too thick, add a bit of milk.)
Serve bagels topped with whipped cream cheese.
