Bagels and delicious, flavor-filled cream cheese give me a
bad case of nostalgia. Maybe it's because they were all
the rage in the 90s, with shops popping up everywhere in the
midwest? Maybe it's because I worked a stint at a bagel
shop in college? Whatever it is, I love kicking it old school
(ugh, the 90s officially feel old school as plaid has officially
come back around) and toasting up chewy bagels and
slathering them with cream cheese. Here are two
quick and simple recipes for flavor-filled cream
cheeses to whip up.
One sweet and One savory, so I gotcha covered.
8 oz container of whipped cream cheese
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
pinch of salt
Blend with a spoon to fully incorporate all the flavors
Starting with whipped cream cheese prevents you from
having to get out the food processor. Score!
the addition of chopped, lightly toasted
pecans would be delicous, FYI
8 oz container of whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup chopped scallions (chop up into the greens)
1/4 cup chopped sweet peppers (I love the mixed
bag of sweet yellows and red baby peppers)
salt & cracked black pepper, to taste
Blend with a spoon to fully incorporate all the flavors.
Enjoy.
I pop the flavored cream cheeses back in the container
the whipped cream cheese arrived in, and the spreads are
good and ready to go!
Slather on, my bagel loving friends.
