How can I store leftover high-protein bagels?

To keep your bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just be sure to slice them in half before freezing, making it easier to toast them later!

Can I make bagels without an egg?

Yes, you can make vegan bagels by omitting the egg wash. Instead, use a plant-based milk or aquafaba to brush the tops before adding your desired toppings.

What is the nutritional value of these bagels?

These homemade high protein bagels are packed with protein due to the Greek yogurt, making them healthier than traditional bagels. On average, each bagel contains about 150-200 calories, depending on the toppings you choose.

Can I add sweet flavors to these bagels?

Absolutely! Consider incorporating spices like cinnamon or adding a splash of vanilla extract. You can also make a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk for a sweet touch after baking.

What toppings work best on these bagels?

Toppings can vary based on your preferences. Popular choices include cream cheese, avocado, ham, or fresh vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. For something savory, you can also sprinkle fresh herbs or seeds before baking.
