Whether you eat them slightly sweet or savoury, one of these bagel recipes from Bross Bros or Berry World is bound to tickle your fancy.
Can you really call it breakfast or brunch if there isn’t a bagel nearby?
We didn’t think so either, which is why we’ve found two of our favourite bagel recipes to help pep up your Brunch Box.
The first one is from Edinburgh’s famous Bross Bagels, where owner Lara Bross has made a name for herself with her famous Montreal-style authentic bagels in her Edinburgh store.
The second recipe is ideal for those who like their savoury bases (i.e. pancakes, pies and bread) to taste sweeter. Making the most of honey and strawberries, having them on a bagel could become your new favourite way to wake up in the morning.
