Handmade Artisan Bagels

I am so excited to share with you the amazing handmade artisan bagels from my friend Lexy at Lift Bridge Bagels!

Lexy is an incredible female entrepreneur who started a fantastic mug cake mix company called On 93rd and Grace. She has recently launched her newest venture, Lift Bridge Bagels.

Lift Bridge Bagels specializes in small batch handmade bagels in a variety of delicious flavors. Flavors include Cinnamon Sugar, Asiago and Everything Bagel, featuring my Everything Bagel seasoning recipe.

These bagels are made with organic, high quality ingredients. They are beautifully chewy and are absolutely mouth watering!

Delicious Bagel Recipes

Lexy and I did an IG live to showcase her bagels and how you can use them in so many recipes. Lexy makes a colorful bagel board and a veggie bagel sandwich. I show you how to make Bagel French Toast and BBQ Chicken Pizza Bagels! These are two of my favorite recipes!

Bagel French Toast

The traditional french toast recipe is given new life by using one of the bagels from Lift Bridge Bagels.

1 plain bagel, (halved)
1 egg
1 tbsp milk of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp butter
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh berries
1 tbsp honey, (optional)

In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla extract, till fully combined.
Place the bagel halves in the egg mixture. Allow it to soak for a couple of minutes on one side, the carefully flip it over, and allow it to soak on the other side for another few minutes.
Preheat a non stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt.
Add the bagel halves to the warmed pan. Allow the bagel halves to cook on one side till golden brown. Carefully flip over, and cook on the second side till golden brown as well.
Transfer the bagel french toast to a plate. Top with yogurt, berries and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
